I have a Draw document that I want to preview - I can’t see print preview ( is there a button for this) so tried preview in web browser, browser duly opens up and all I see is a blank page. Any ideas? Thanks.
Version: 6.4.7.2
Windows 10 64bit
Chrome browser.
From what I can tell through experiment, File>Preview in Web Browser only reports text associated with shapes. And relative position is not even reflected correctly: text is simple collected and put inside <p> </p>.
Just added some text and sadly it would seem you are correct.

Displaying a Draw “page” in a browser would require to translate the internal representation into SVG or an export to PNG or JPEG. This does not seem to be done. Hence, only the most basic data collection is done: text. And as I noted, text is just entered into <p> elements, without even attempting to respect relative ordering (not speaking of relative position which can hardly be done with <p>).
The best preview is offered by View>Page Pane. The page thumbnails can be scaled within limits by enlarging or shrinking the page column.
