Description:
I wanted to view a file in Print Preview mode, was able to do so, and now cannot get out of Print Preview because the Close Preview icon has disappeared (that has happened with just that files; in all my other files, I can get in and out of Print  Preview with no difficulty)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I clicked Print Preview
2. I  got to Print Preview
3. I cannot get out of Print Preview and the icon for Print Preview has disappeared.

I believe I have described everything you need to know.

I tried to see if quitting LO and reloading it would help, but still that one file was stuck in Print Preview

7.1.6 is quite old, please upgrade to LO 7.5.5 and give a new try.

> that one file was stuck in Print Preview

Do you see the Print Preview toolbar? It is shown below the Standard toolbar. Maybe it is undocked.
You can exit the print preview mode hitting Escape key.

Dear Sir,

I solved the problem in this way:
I noticed that I had inadvertently clicked Track Changes.
That caused five or six Track Changes icons to appear in the dock.
Those new icons caused the icons Book View, Multi-Page View, etc. to disappear from view.
I unclicked Track Changes.
Book View, etc. then re-appeared.
I clicked Single-Page View.
The text was now in Two-Page View, which is normal for Print Preview.
Exit Preview then re-appeared and I clicked it. Problem solved.
