RE: [libreoffice-design] merge Print Layout pages

If I understand you correctly, you are proposing to keep "Print Layout" how it is and instead add a 
new view-layout called "Draft Layout." And this "Draft Layout" would merge the ends and beginnings 
of pages together like the pic I uploaded to imgur illustrates?
If I understand this correctly, the "Draft Layout" sounds like a great solution. But I would kindly 
suggest adding a setting that lets users set "Draft Layout" as the default layout that Writer 
displays when it is opened. So when I open Writer to begin a document, "Draft Layout" is the view 
that is selected by default. I would have to manually change it if I wanted "Print Layout" or "Web 
Layout". Does this make sense?
