"hide white space between pages" is idiotic
I have lived at least one full year with a print layout problem.
Header and footer was not visible when I created a new document before I selected "view - header and footer". I even tried to reinstall office, but the behavior was still there. Last week I found that two colleagues had the same problem, so I checked the help system for solutions. Then I found the fantastic "feature" "Show or hide white space". This is really a very doubtful, non intuitive feature! It costed me 1 year of frustration. Either it should be removed, or at least be very obvious when active... |

When you hover your mouse cursor over a page break in print layout view it
gives you the option to hide or show white space. "Bill Foley" wrote: I couldn't agree with you more.

"hide white space between pages" is idiotic
I recently had the same problem. Took me some while to find out that by
hovering my mouse pointer between page breaks, I could toggle the €˜Show/Hide White Space option, while in €˜Print Layout View. It is a nice option, but why is it not shown as an option under €˜Tools €“ Options €“ View €“ Show. Initially I looked here but could not find it. It would have saved me considerable time in figuring this out. |

It _is_ under Tools Options View.
