hi

can i turn this line off completely?

i have tried googling for an answer on this, plus looked through the
manual but with time pressures involved i now just want it gone. I
don't want to know if their are formatting errors, as long as it
looks ok coming out at the printer!!

needless to say - it will be good to know how to avoid these errors
happening in the first place, but that will be later (when i have
more time to study the manual more carefully)

Go to Tools Options Edit and clear the check box for "Mark formatting
inconsistencies". You may also want to uncheck "Keep track of formatting",
which will also disable the inconsistencies box.
