Word wrap location changes between Draft and Print views

The documents we work on are set to Full justification. We're using "Times
New Roman" font at 11 points. When we switch between Draft view and Print
view the word wrapping changes. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

Probably not. Draft view is much less WYSIWYG than "Normal" view in previous
versions. One case in point: if you change the character spacing (condense
or expand it), the change will be shown in Print Layout view but not in
Draft view.

Make sure to wrap text to the ruler (as opposed to the window); you do this
by clearing the "Show text wrapped within the document window" option in Word
Options, Advanced category (the option is found under "Show document
content").

However, note that only Print Layout view displays text the way it will
print (assuming that you have hidden the nonprinting marks of course).
