Default How can I view page breaks in draft mode (2007)

I have often found that running a Word Count triggers all my page break
lines to show up or adjust in Normal view. (MacWord 2004)

if by magic. Either I accidentally solved the problem or, more likely, it
looks like a bug, in which case roll on the service pack.

Unfortunately I wasted a lot of time on chasing this around.

Thanks for the support.

Unfortunately, no, there doesn't seem to be any way to change this, and I
agree it was a bad decision.

Prior to 2007, page breaks were clearly shown in normal (draft) view. Now
they only appear if paragraph markers are turned on. Is this configurable

as

it's not easy to edit in draft if you cannot clearly see your page breaks?
Popping in and out of preview is annoying too. Can't think why it's been
changed :-(
