Why Does it Repaginate On Format Change?
I'm running Word 2003 in Windows XP Professional (5.1). I have created a
150-page document with a 90-page table. In one column of the table, I needed to add a hanging indent to about 1/4 of the cells. I didn't bother to create a new named style for the hanging indent; I just set an indent on one cell and then used Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V to copy the formatting to subsequent cells. Now, whenever I paste the formatting to a new cell, I get a message that says "Word is repaginating . . ." and I need to wait a few seconds until the repagination is complete. Anybody out there know if there's a way to avoid this repagination? Thanks, Fred |

Switch to Normal view; then go to Tools Options View and uncheck
Background Repagination. (This option is checked and grayed out when you're in Print Layout view.)

Thanks. Other than the fact that the option was on the General tab (not the
View tab), that did the trick. I'll need to get used to working in Normal view for a while, but this speeds things up quite a bit.

Hmm, sorry, sometimes the fingers go faster than the brain.
