Hmm, sorry, sometimes the fingers go faster than the brain.

Thanks. Other than the fact that the option was on the General tab
(not the View tab), that did the trick. I'll need to get used to
working in Normal view for a while, but this speeds things up quite a
bit.

Switch to Normal view; then go to Tools Options View and uncheck
Background Repagination. (This option is checked and grayed out when
you're in Print Layout view.)

I'm running Word 2003 in Windows XP Professional (5.1). I have
created a 150-page document with a 90-page table.

In one column of the table, I needed to add a hanging indent to
about 1/4 of the cells. I didn't bother to create a new named style
for the hanging indent; I just set an indent on one cell and then
used Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V to copy the formatting to
subsequent cells.

Now, whenever I paste the formatting to a new cell, I get a message
that says "Word is repaginating . . ." and I need to wait a few
seconds until the repagination is complete. Anybody out there know
if there's a way to avoid this repagination?

Thanks,

Fred
