Seeing page breaks in Normal View
I just upgraded from Word 2000 to Word 2003. When I use Normal View, I no
longer can see the automatic page breaks. The only way that I can see them is to switch to Print View. If I switch to Print View and then back to Normal View, they appear. This is extremely annoying since I don't know where each page ends. |

Seeing page breaks in Normal View
In Tools | Options, General, make sure the checkbox for "background
repagination" is checked. That might help. Even if you did see the page breaks in Normal View, they aren't very reliable. For why, see he http://daiya.mvps.org/wordpages.htm However, I generally find that it is quicker to run Word Count, which also forces repaginatation, to update the dotted lines that denote an approximate page break in Normal View.

Seeing page breaks in Normal View
Thanks so much! Once I checked the box for "background repagination", the
dotted lines showed up again. Much appreciated!! "Daiya Mitchell" wrote: In Tools | Options, General, make sure the checkbox for "background repagination" is checked. That might help.
