Acrobat 9: Overprint Preview

In v7, the option to view a file in OP Preview was on the main menu bar (Advanced, I think). I could toggle it on and off at will. Convenient.

In v9, the only place I find any OP setting is in Preferences>Page Display. Is this correct?

If so, can I assume Use Overprint Preview>Automatic will toggle on OP Preview when a file has overprinting and not when the file has none? Is this the setting most of you use?

With this setting, can I assume the only way to turn off OP Preview when viewing a file with overprinting is to return to preferences settings?

Thanks.

More:

With this new process (assuming I have it right), am I right that there's no way to determine whether a file contains overprinting now? No hint in the title bar, no message, no colorization of OP areas?

For that matter, does returning to the Preferences>Page Display to set OP Preview to Never actually turn off the preview in real time? Seems to me I'd have to quit and re-open the application for that change of setting to take effect, no?

Thanks, George. Helpful it was. Answered some of my most basic questions. I'm still left with some of the others above though.
