Default why do we use print preview modes?

It came as a surprise to me too that you could display the non-printing
characters in print preview, but without being able to print them, there
doesn't seem a lot of point - except maybe for tracing some anomaly between
print layout and print preview.

whilst using Print Preview, so you can toggle on the non-printing
characters. All a bit alien to the way I work though!

Ah - I don't edit in Print Preview. I preview in Print Preview.

If you have editing in Print Preview enabled, then the non-printing
characters will display. But note that viewing of the non-printing
characters are separate actions in Print Preview and Page Layout
View. Just because you have it toggled on in Page Layout View does
not toggle them on for Print Preview. It needs toggling separately
for each view. Terry Farrell

They show up on my print preview screen, but they do not print.

If you're seeing them in Print Preview, they aren't non-printing.

They look exactly the same, pilcrows, centered dots for spaces,
greyed fields,
