Probably because you should do your own homework.

why do we use print preview modes?
Actually, that's a very good question. Print layout view in Word pretty
accurately shows me how a page will appear once printed, so about the only time I use print preview in Word is to update fields. Before W2007, I used normal view (& back) for that purpose. In Excel 2003 and before I used print preview often, but now with Excel 2007's page layout view, I, again, rarely use print preview. I've wondered why print preview is still a feature (since at least W2002). Either it remains because too many users would squawk if it were removed, or it does something the other views (including the reading view) can't. Does anyone know?

They look exactly the same, pilcrows, centered dots for spaces, greyed fields,
and all -- except that there are no green squiggles in the print preview, but they can turned off in print layout.

Which version of Word are you using? Using Windows versions only (Word 97,
2000, 2003, and now 2007), I have certainly never seen nonprinting marks in Print Preview.

If you're seeing them in Print Preview, they aren't non-printing.

W2007. And I don't recall seeing them before today either. But I just
tried it in W2003 (different computer), and, after I added the standard toolbar and clicked the pilcrow, there they are. Pam Stefan Blom wrote: Which version of Word are you using?

If you have editing in Print Preview enabled, then the non-printing
characters will display. But note that viewing of the non-printing characters are separate actions in Print Preview and Page Layout View. Just because you have it toggled on in Page Layout View does not toggle them on for Print Preview. It needs toggling separately for each view.

I expect that is true for 99.9999999999999% of users. But you can edit
whilst using Print Preview, so you can toggle on the non-printing characters. All a bit alien to the way I work though! Terry "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... Ah - I don't edit in Print Preview.

OK, this is possible if you are editing the document in Print Preview, as
explained by Terry Farrell elsewhere in this thread. But are you saying that you get the nonprinting marks automatically--that all you have to do is switch to Print Preview to see them? I have to switch to Print Preview, click to turn off the "Magnifier" option (Word 2007) and then turn on nonprinting marks. The setting isn't saved with the document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:9952485d31ce6@uwe... W2007.

It came as a surprise to me too that you could display the non-printing
characters in print preview, but without being able to print them, there doesn't seem a lot of point - except maybe for tracing some anomaly between print layout and print preview. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Terry Farrell wrote: I expect that is true for 99.9999999999999% of users.

I think it enables both 'searching for that odd strange anomaly' and to
avoid deleting a hidden tab or paragraph mark if you are editing in that mode. Terry "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

be displayed in Print Preview as well, if you first enable the editing mode. That was certainly news to me. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

It was news to me as well. But text boundaries are not displayed in Print
Preview even when the Magnifier is turned off, and I don't see any way to display them (the View tab of Tools | Options is disabled in this view). Interestingly, ISTR that in some earlier versions there was something like text boundaries in PP that allowed you to change the margins in that view (perhaps before you could do this with the rulers in Print Layout view). Okay, I just checked my Word 2.0 for Windows manual, and I was remembering wrong. It was just that you could change the margins using the rulers in PP (but you could also do this in Page Layout view). And the manual clearly states that you can edit in PP by turning off the magnifier. I never saw any reason to do this, but I've always known it was possible. -- Suzanne S.
