WHY OH WHY OH WHY is this a problem? Think of it this way: you can now move
things around to your hearts content WITHOUT having to switch to Page 
Preview mode, AND be able to edit and format the text as you do it! You CAN 
set page layout view to show the whole page, AND drag framed objects around 
to your heart's content, so what's the difference? Am I missing something?
