Is there a way to see what a document will look like on a printed page while working within Office? I know I can do Print>Preview, but that views the document in Preview, not in Office.

"Office" is a suite of applications programs - knowing which of those
programs you're referring to would make it a bit easier to answer your
question
In general, however, Office never has done the printing & the current Apple
guidelines for printing allow for the apps to no longer have to provide a
preview service which was [and is] generated by the OS & printer driver in
the first place.
Word - Still offers Print Preview
Excel - Offers Page Layout from the View menu
PowerPoint & Entourage are the only ones where Previewing through the Print
dialog is necessary.

Which operating system?
If you are using 10.5 and Office 2008, the "Print Preview" command has been
removed because the function is handled by the Operating System.
The "preview" you see is not generated by the "Preview" application. The
print job is sent to the OS printing subsystem, which renders it, then sends
it back to the screen instead of out to the printer.
So that IS what you are going to get, as close as the display resolution
will allow
Hope this helps
