Press Ctrl+Shift+8 to show nonprinting marks; you should then be able to see
the page breaks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "domyrat" wrote in message ...

Page breaks in word 2007 not visible???
Ok, here is the full thing.
I started a docx file, typed some, did a page break, it showed it as it should, typed some more, wanted another page break, and did it the same way, but it didn't show. When i choose to show nonprinting marks, it shows page breaks but smaller than those upper that show even without this non printing marks. I personally think this is a bug, and I would like word 2003 page breaks showing. Here are pictures of what i'm talking about http://picozilla.com/en/183527/20080...2255.jpeg.html http://picozilla.com/en/183528/20080...2411.jpeg.html "Stefan Blom" wrote: Press Ctrl+Shift+8 to show nonprinting marks; you should then be able to see the page breaks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "domyrat" wrote in message ...

See if this helps: Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In
the Advanced category, scroll down to the "Compatibility options for" section. Expand the Layout options (by clicking the plus sign). Check the "Split apart page break and paragraph mark" option, and click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "domyrat" wrote in message ... Ok, here is the full thing.

Yes, it solved my problem, i think in next eventual patch it should be default.

Well, the new behavior with page and paragraph breaks is certainly not a
bug, if that's what you are asking (if it was there wouldn't be a compatibility option for it), so it's not likely to change any time soon. However, the display issue should be possible to fix, I suppose. But it may have low priority. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "domyrat" wrote in message ...

Page breaks in word 2007 not visible???
Thank you for this tip. This option also takes care of another
problem I have had with pasting large amounts of text. When pasting text in previous versions of Word, the Word window automatically scrolled down to the end of the text. In 2007, this was not happening and I had to press the down arrow key or Enter to get to the end. I have searched the knowledge base for an article that describes each compatibility layout option and cannot find one. Does such an article exist for 2007?

No, I haven't seen such a knowledge base article, unfortunately. Actually, I
can't reproduce the issue either. When exactly does it occur? For example, does it make a difference if you paste at the end of the document, or at the beginning? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Cheryl Flanders" wrote in message ... Thank you for this tip.

Page breaks in word 2007 not visible???
I spoke too soon. Upon opening Word this morning, pasting a large
amount of text is back to what it was before. In Print Layout view, it doesn't matter where I paste text in the document. It can be at the beginning or middle and the window does not scroll down to the end of the text. In Draft view, the window does scroll down to the end. I had been wondering if it's my video driver, but it works as expected in Draft view, so I'm not convinced that's the problem. I had switched from working in Normal view to Print Layout view with Word 2007 because I didn't like the way page breaks appeared in Draft view -- my eye wanted to see that line all the way across the screen. Checking the "Split apart page break and paragraph mark" option gave me back the view I had in previous versions so I'll stick with Draft view now. You have obviously played with all the compatibility options to see how they will affect your document, but I was hoping there was an article to explain each option as there is for earlier versions.

At least on my system, the compatibility option didn't cause a problem. You
mentioned the display driver; it might be worth checking with a different one. On the other hand, since it is now working for you, you may just as well leave things the way they are (for a while). I too find it annoying that no article explaining the new compatibility options for Word 2007 has been published yet. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Cheryl Flanders" wrote in message ...
