Do those huge documents take awhile to come up in Word? How about when you try to scroll through it? Frustrated with the lag time?
If youd like a way to speed the viewing process up, then why not give this little trick a try?
What were going to look at is Words draft font option. Whats that, you ask?
Its a good question and the best answer I found came from the Office Assistant himself.
Draft font: "Displays most character formatting as underlined and bold and displays graphics as empty boxes. Select the Draft font checkbox to speed up screen display in documents with extensive formatting."
The thing to keep in mind with this feature is that it displays the document plainly, but that doesnt mean the formatting is gone. Its just not displayed, which allows for that "speed up" I mentioned above.
Okay, enough explanation. Lets get started.
First, we have to activate the display font option.
We do this through the Tools menu, Options choice.
On the View tab, select the draft font checkbox.
Click OK.
Thats the first step.
Some of you will need to switch views to see the change.
If youre like me and work primarily in the Print Layout View, you wont see a difference yet, but hang on, Ive got you covered.
To complete the change, you need to switch to the Normal view. (View menu, Normal choice).
There you have it. Draft font, faster viewing and all your formatting safe and sound, but "put away" for awhile. Yes!
