Description Susan Cragin 2020-08-13 13:52:37 UTC
It would be wonderful to have an edit view of two pages at a time. 

I used to work in an office that had wordperfect, which has a 2-page display. That way you basically could view and edit your work like a book, two pages at a time. 

Like many people, I have an office screen that is 28" wide. Half the time I am writing very long and complex documents that will be printed on standard US 8.5 x 11 paper.

I also edit brochures that are to be printed on half-sheets, 5.5 x 8.5. 

I know you're going to say just use 2 columns and set the paper size to double, and then just change it when you print, but that is a lot of work and the result is not always accurate.

Already possible, 

Right bottom, next to zoom slide bar is a multi-page view button (should show a hoover over popup)
