Print layout

Updated: 05/01/2023 by Computer Hope

Print layout or Print view is the default view mode in a word processor like the recent versions of Microsoft Word. This mode shows how the document would appear when printed as it's being edited.

Note

This view mode should not be confused with print preview, which shows an overall preview of a document.

Tip

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+P to switch to the print layout.
