You might use it in combination with Reflow - Ctrl + 4 from the number row. This is a toggle and will give you a visual representation of how the document will be read.

If a document has tables they will not be reflowed. If the document has form controls none of the document will be reflowed, but if you are just looking at content it is a useful tool.
