View options
Two pages of options set the defaults for viewing Writer documents: View (described here) and Formatting Aids (described in the next section).
If the items on the OpenOffice.org Writer - View page are not self-explanatory, you can easily test their effects in a blank document.
This is a good page to check if, for example, you cannot see graphics on the screen or you see field codes instead of the text or numbers you are expecting.
