In any word processor, is there any way to restrict the width of the web layout view to a comfortable width for reading and writing? I understand that you could simply make the GUI window narrower but I was hoping for a less distracting option.

Another way to achieve a similar affect would be to have "continuous pages" in page layout view but that question has already been asked here: How to make a continuous sheet in MS Word?. Note that hiding white space between pages is not a solution to this since elements (think images) may not lay between page boundaries which causes ugly gaps in the continuous text.

I get frustrated that word processors are so focused on page layout.

Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, and then click Word Options.

Click Proofing.

Under AutoCorrection settings, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.

Uncheck the Set left- and first-indent with tabs and backspaces check box.

Then go to layout and then indent. Add 2" to left and 2" to right

Use the Draft View. This view hides headers and footers and puts text in a continuous layout like Web layout. However Draft view also places an additional pane on the left showing the Style of each paragraph. This pane can be resized, allowing you to put the left edge of your document more in the center of the screen or whereever you want it.
