Thanks Cyber Taz, I hadn't thought of non-printing characters, unfortunately
I do need the columns to be set up next to each other as they have to be
lined up with the text directly to the left. I might try experimenting with
non-printing characters and see if I come up with something similar. If I
show all, the screen is way too busy to have it edited by others. So we'll
see.

Others may have more options to offer, but the only way I know of is to
remove all the checks in Tools Options View - Formatting Marks, turn off
non-printing characters (ΒΆ) and switch to Normal View... the down side is
that the columns will follow one another, they won't be displayed
side-by-side, but page, section & column breaks will be visibly indicated.

In word 2002 how does one view just the breaks, ie. column break, section
break? There are options to view seemingly every other type of hidden
character or code. Ideally I would like only column breaks to be visible
by
default for a template.
(For those interested, or with additional suggestions, I'm trying a
workaround for parallel columns in word w/o using tables, linked
textboxes
etc.)
