Description msandersen 2007-08-07 04:45:29 UTC 
I have a widescreen 20" LCD, and in standard view a page takes up exactly half
the page, and is placed flush left, with lots of dead area to the right. Either
show pages Center, or allow for a default layout of having 2 pages side-by-side
where the viewing area supports it. This is how Word 2007 handles it, and it
looks nicer, like you would lay out pages on a table for reading. 
In short, OOo needs to make better use of the available screen space.

Reassigned to requirements.
This issue is slightly related to issue 70465.

This is basically a dupe of issue 1598 (see
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1598). I have begun writing a
specification for that issue. Please review it, if you find it useful.

Thanks.
