This question is based on Take a Tour document of Word 2013. It says, as you see in the image below, that I can view a Word document in Read Mode where as the icon shows , the document will appear in book fold But then, as I click on Read Mode Icon, the following is what I get, NOT in book fold view as the icon shows Wonder, why it is so, or what have I done wrong?

In Read Mode, click View | Layout | Column Layout. Does that fix the problem? When Online Repair of Office 2013 did not help, I tried in "Read Mode" View | Layout | Column Layout and I got the following at 100% screen (1360 x 768). In Word 2007 + Windows 7, I used to get a neat book like view and it never occupied the whole screen at 100% -- Would you think that uninstalling and then reinstalling Office 2013 may help? Or, does that serve the same purpose as Online Repair ?

Yes, you can do an Office Repair. It usually does not cause any problems, and should only take a few minutes. Earlier, I had done a Quick Repair. This time, I did Online Repair. No change in view (Read Mode).

In Read Mode, click View | Layout | Column Layout. Does that fix the problem?

this is what I meant when I said book view was displayed when scrolling down to 100% I was able to display this with AND without turning on multiple page: book fold. I don't know what is causing your problem. Yes, you can do an Office Repair. It usually does not cause any problems, and should only take a few minutes.

I suspect the fix for your problem is simple. Just ZOOM out, use <CTL><mouse scroll wheel> to adjust the zoom level. As you scroll out, you will see a bookfold representation. Thank you for explaining the logic behind Microsoft's recommendation to use 32 bit unless... Last time I had tried zoom out using slider at bottom right. This time I tried <CTL><mouse scroll wheel> to zoom out. But it did not help. In Read Mode, pages look like this - Despite Page Layout settings being like this - Should I Repair Office and see what happens?

"Read Mode" in Word 2013 does not look as the "Take a Tour" document says - wonder why so?
