   Yes, we know that; however, it is often the case that a zoomed-in view -   
   even in "Print View" as Word calls it (or used to, I haven't used a   
   recent Word to know if it still does) - is easier to read. "Print   
   Preview" often defaults to whole-page scaling, which lets you see how it   
   is laid out on the page, but is often too small (especially on smaller   
   screens such as laptops, and in general since we accepted being forced   
   to shortscreen hardware) to read easily. Also, the top and bottom   
   margins tend to introduce gaps, which interrupt the flow of reading.   
      
   Good question - but, basically, I think the answer is that WYSIWYG   
   doesn't mean quite what it originally implied.
