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?

I can get a layout that shows two separate pages in Read Mode if I select Multiple Pages on the View tab before switching to Read Mode. Note that they aren't facing pages, but there are two pages (not just columns).

But Read Mode isn't supposed to be a what-you-see-is-what-you-get view. It's supposed to make reading documents on screen easier.

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