LO Writer 5.0

This feature enhancement would allow:
1. better use of the screen real estate; and
2. better view of the document.

When the width of 2 or more pages (plus the space between them) would fit across page, it would be nice if Writer would left justify the pages across the screen.

Images of the current and proposed view will be attached to this bug (or enhancement).

Thank you

I am not sure if I understand that right.  But from my point of view this is already implemented?  If you go to the bottom right (left to the zoom ruler) and switch to Multiple-Page View then you have the pages also next to each other.  Does this already solve your issue or did you have something else in mind?

Thank you A (Andy) for your kind response.

I didn't see it at the bottom right (left to the zoom ruler). So yes the feature is implemented.

Perhaps this is for an enhancement for the feature to be accessible using the menu bar. eg.
View > Single-page view
View > Multiple-page view
View > Book view

Thank you

Thanks for your very fast reply.

I agree this could also be inserted into the VIEW menu, because if you are a new user then you would intuitively maybe look for such a feature in the VIEW menu.

-> Therefore, I mark this bug report as an Enhancement Request for adding this into the VIEW menu.

This bug (short version):

We have Single-page view + Multiple view + Book View just on bottom right status bar.

This is an enhancement for this options to be accessible using the menu bar. 

View > Single-page view
View > Multiple-page view
View > Book view
