Re: [libreoffice-users] Book Preview button in Print Preview Screen

       I've used both the zoom & the print previews; how can I stay in
these views and edit???
           when I begin to edit, it switches to the regular mode.

       It sure would save a few steps if I could edit in the preview mode
;-)
