Automatic hiding/showing page breaks
Hi~
I have 2 different word documents, each with multiple business letters separated by page breaks. Currently I am deleting spacings within the business letters to condense them onto one page each. When I do this in the first document, the page breaks seem to be automatically hidden if the end of the letter corresponds with the very end of the page. However, when I do this in the second document, the page breaks remain even if the end of the letter corresponds with the very end of the page. Thus, there are blank pages between many of the letters. I would like to have the 2nd document do what the 1st document is doing (leave the page breaks but hide them) in case I edit the letters later. What is the difference between the 2 documents? Thanks! |

Automatic hiding/showing page breaks
I suggest you skip all the page breaks. Instead, apply "Page break before" to
the first paragraph in each letter (Format Paragraph Line and Page Breaks Page break before). In this way, you prevent the current problem with empty pages. The easiest solution would be to use a special style for the first paragraph in each letter and define the style with "Page break before" turned on. The difference between the two documents could be that document 1 actually uses "Page break before" whereas document 2 includes manual page breaks. Note that you can use Edit Find to find manual page breaks - type ^m in the Find what field. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "kbrad011" wrote: Hi~ I have 2 different word documents, each with multiple business letters separated by page breaks.
