I have Word 2002, SP3. When working on a document, the display Window is not
the same as the document. For example, when using different fonts are used
in different paragraphs in the document, the displayed document shows all one
font. When the document is printed, the proper fonts are shown. Is there a
setting that shows the actual formated document in the Word Window? This
used to be called; What You See Is What You Get.
Thanks,

Most views in Word are WYSIWYG with regard to fonts; for layout, Print
Layout is the most WYSIWYG of the working views (unless you're creating a
Web page), but Print Preview is the only truly WYSIWYG view. If your fonts
are displaying as you describe, I would guess that you are in Normal view
with "draft font" enabled (Tools | Options | View).

Thanks Suzanne: I went to Tools|Option|View|Outline and Normal Options and
unchecked Wrap To Window and Draft Font. I can now see my formatted document
with the proper margins. Thanks
