I think I'm more dependent on text boundaries than on nonprinting
characters, which I usually turn off when I'm proofreading (but flip back
on to confirm suspected cases of extra spaces and the like). I do wish,
though, that there were a similarly simple toggle for text boundaries;
someone inquired about that recently (wanting to add it to the QAT in Word
2007), and I hadn't thought about it till then, but I would appreciate that
button.

Yes, I feel the same. Previously I imagined that nonprinting marks were
more important to me, but I'm gradually realizing that I'm highly
dependent on text boundaries as well.

I find myself absolutely at sea when I open a copy of Word that doesn't
have both nonprinting characters and text boundaries displayed. Those are
the two changes I make immediately.

Good point.

Having text boundaries displayed in Word makes it easier to see such
page number frames.

Also, if it was inserted via Insert | Page Numbers, it will be in a
frame, and you need to be careful to delete the entire frame to avoid
the "wandering frame" problem discussed in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm.

Double-click the page number in the header (or footer); this
activates the header/footer view. Then select and delete the page
number that you want to get rid of.

How can I eliminate page numbering in an MS Word document? Using

once inserted.
Thanks.
