How can I view page breaks in draft mode (2007)
Prior to 2007, page breaks were clearly shown in normal (draft) view. Now
they only appear if paragraph markers are turned on. Is this configurable as it's not easy to edit in draft if you cannot clearly see your page breaks? Popping in and out of preview is annoying too. Can't think why it's been changed :-( |

Unfortunately, no, there doesn't seem to be any way to change this, and I
agree it was a bad decision. -- Suzanne S.

How can I view page breaks in draft mode (2007)
After about half an hour of editing, my page breaks suddenly re-appeared as
if by magic. Either I accidentally solved the problem or, more likely, it looks like a bug, in which case roll on the service pack. Unfortunately I wasted a lot of time on chasing this around. Thanks for the support. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Unfortunately, no, there doesn't seem to be any way to change this, and I agree it was a bad decision. -- Suzanne S.

How can I view page breaks in draft mode (2007)
I think it might be a bug since automatic page breaks display. If the reason
you prefer to use Draft view is to suppress the margins, then place your mouse pointer between two pages and double-click to suppress the white space, use the same process to redisplay white space. (I stopped using Normal/Draft view once they introduced this functionality.) Otherwise, perhaps turning on the formatting marks (paragraph marks) would work better than switching to Print Preview?

I confess that I use Print Layout a lot more often now, too, suppressing the
white space. But of course I always have all nonprinting characters displayed as well. -- Suzanne S.

I have often found that running a Word Count triggers all my page break
lines to show up or adjust in Normal view. (MacWord 2004) Budmischief wrote: After about half an hour of editing, my page breaks suddenly re-appeared as if by magic.
