Tools | Options | General. Ordinarily, switching to Print Layout view turns
it on, and you would have to manually turn it back off. But if your document
is especially complex and/or your processing power limited, I wouldn't put
it past Word to take it upon itself to switch if off (it does do this with
picture placeholders).

I'm definitely in normal view, like I said, I have to keep switching back
from print view to normal to have it refresh.

Since office 2000 worked and all I did was an upgrade to 2003, I'd assume
that Background repagination is by default turned on, but who knows.

I didn't know it could be turned off, where do I turn it on?

Thanks Suzanne

Possibly "Background repagination" is not enabled for Normal view, or
perhaps you're in Web Layout view?

Hi,

I had office 2000 and updated to office 2003. Now in word, in normal
view,
the task bar at the bottom that shows page, sec and page of page, isn't
updating. I have to change to print layout view to have the three
fields
update themselfs with info. then as I'm writting and adding more pages,
while
back in normal view (the view I prefer) it doesn't update, in fact
sometimes
the infor will disapear, I have to swithch back to print layout to have
those
fields show up and or update.

I've installed all the updates as of 04.27.08 but still not working.

Any ideas?

Thanks
