Show/Hide changes total page number
I have a 58 page document. In Normal View with Show/Hide turned on all the
pages are correct. When I turn the Show/Hide off, I lose 2 pages and I see that 2 section breaks are missing, changing the total pages to 56. This is occurring on only the last 4 pages. All page breaks and section breaks in pages 1-53 are showing up just fine. Can someone help? |

Possibly some of the section breaks are set to either Odd Page or Even Page,
so they are set to create a page that isn't necessarily there? If that isn't the case, which version of Word? But I think you must mean the Print Layout/Page Layout View that looks like a normal piece of paper, as section breaks always show in Normal View regardless of the show/hide settings. What is checked under the View menu? How can you tell that a section break is missing if you have show/hide off? Are the missing section breaks continuous section breaks? Occasionally Word can get confused with pagination and continuous section breaks. If you go into Normal View, is all your text there? On 7/27/05 12:42 PM, "laralea" wrote: I have a 58 page document.

Do you have an index at the end? If so, Show/Hide is toggling your index
from an { INDEX } field code to the index listing. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003
All section breaks are set to Next Page - I checked carefully. I can tell that section breaks are missing when show/hide is off because I'm staying in Normal View. Any other ideas? Tnx!!

Silly me, overlooking the obvious.
You have some of the text and breaks formatted as Hidden, I suspect. Are there little dotted lines under the text that vanishes when you turn show/hide off? Quicker way--go to Find, click on More, use the Format menu in the Find dialog to format the empty Find box as Hidden, and see what it turns up, since you have 50+ pages.

yes, there are little dotted lines!! I was wondering what those are! ....But
I can't quite follow your instructions for finding the hidden formatting. In the format list I have Font...,Paragraph...Tabs...Language...Frame...Styl e....Highlight.... I don't find Hidden in the Special list either. "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: Silly me, overlooking the obvious. You have some of the text and breaks formatted as Hidden, I suspect.

Hidden is a checkbox on the Format | Font dialog, so use the Font option.
Little dotted lines, yes, mean "this text is formatted as hidden." You can tell Find to "select all instances found" and then use Format | Font to take off the Hidden, probably.... Assuming this isn't a case where a company formatted certain text as Hidden because they don't want it to be included in the printed version, or some such.

That was it!!! Thank you so much!! I'm on an enterprise help desk at a major
company and I've been beating my head on the wall with this one for 2 days. My customer is not a very happy camper, but then I'm not the one who hid the formatting. :-) "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: Hidden is a checkbox on the Format | Font dialog, so use the Font option.
