Does anyone have a way to show the section breaks in a document without
having to use the 'show all' check on the Tools Options View menu? I
find the space dots distracting but really need to see the section breaks to
control the formatting.

Thanks

Sorry, there is no way to do that at the moment although it has been
requested.

What version are you asking about? In Word 2003, section breaks are
displayed even when no other nonprinting characters (formatting marks) are
displayed, at least in Normal view. It does appear that they are not
displayed in Print Layout view, however (section breaks can be difficult to
see in Print Layout view in any case).

Good point. I keep forgetting that (and not just in 2003).

from the drop down menu
tools
options
"view" tab
in the middle is a section marked "formatting marks"
all is probably the default and selected, select what you want to see.

There is no check box for "Section breaks," however, and checking any of the
other boxes doesn't work; only "All" is effective.
