two different view questions

I haven't really tried it, but I am wondering why one would use the draft view? is there a benefit to writing in that?

I would like to have a view of 142 percent (128 isn't big enough), is there a way to change or add this as a selection for the magnifing glass selection tag

thanks

1) I write in draft view all the time. I want to see EXACTLY what my page is going to look like.

2) On the magnifying glass, click "other" and enter 142.

As Steve Jobs says, "boom."

You can set your view to 142% in your Nisus New File so that all new documents start at that magnification level.

Some writers really do not want to be distracted by page borders, layout, etc. Draft View is a nice way to let you focus on your text before you focus on your presentation.

Ideally, I suppose, one would work in draft view using styles to write and format your text. Then, when finished, you could modify the style sheet and work in page view to make sure everything looks just right.

I do do that, but for some reason:

1) text files (how I program an html file) always open in 100%

2) if I change the view, say i want to look at a document at 25 % to see if insert new page worked, then it would be nice to go back to 142% without going through 'other'

Thanks
