**There are five different views of any document.** ![How many types of views are there in ms-word?](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/b61ae5e8-6214-431c-8b3e-0c687fbd463b/images/fc3ca1e6-bb67-428f-8831-f2cb5dfc587f.jpeg) **\**

- The **Web view** in Microsoft [**Word**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95096/how-do-i-copy-from-pdf-to-word-and-keep-formatting) allows you to see how your work will appear as a website. Embedded graphics, backgrounds, and borders will show in the same way they would on an Internet browser.
- The **Print view** displays your document precisely as it will appear when printed from your printer, which is useful when establishing margins and formatting your Word document for printing to your system's or a commercial printer. This view also shows information from the footer, header, and footnotes. In this view, you can also make changes to your document.
- The **Outline view** adds bullets, nested levels, and indented lines to your page, making it easier to edit, move, copy, and paste objects. When working with multi-page materials like books, manuscripts, and research papers, this view is perfect.
- When working with minimal text and pictures, or when you don't plan on publishing to a Web server or commercial printer, the **Normal view**, Microsoft Word's default view, is ideal. This view does not show the header/footer or margin information, but it allows you to update and save your document.
- The **Reading view,** which isn't accessible in all versions of Microsoft Word, presents your content in a book-like manner. This option displays two pages on your monitor side by side for viewing. You can't save or change your document in this view.
