Default how do I get page breaks to show in draft view?

They will display if you turn on your Formatting Marks (nonprinting
characters). On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click ¶ to turn them
on/off.



Also, I'm not sure if you ever tried suppressing the white space in Print
Layout view but ever since this feature was introduced I no longer use Draft
View regularly. For this, place your mouse point between two pages, or at
the top of first page, and when the mouse pointer changes, double-click to
suppress the white space. Reverse the process to redisplay it

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.

I can't get page breaks to show up in draft view in Word 2007. Section
breaks show, but not hard or soft page breaks. This is a major
inconvienience, as draft view gives me a larger view of my document. I
can
get them to show if you allow all formatting marks to be viewed, but that
clutters up the document too much.

Any help anyone can give would be appreciated
