Page Breaks in Word 2007
I have added page breaks to my document however I can only see them when I
have "Show/Hide" formatting turned on (the number of pages at the bottom left corner shows correctly). When I print or print preview or turn off Show/Hide, the page breaks are gone and the number of pages at the bottom reverts back to the document without breaks. I had this problem last month and fixed it however can't remember what I did! |

Page Breaks in Word 2007
This sounds strange. It seems as if the document might be damaged. Have you
tried deleting any section breaks and then copying the contents, except for the final paragraph mark (¶), into a new file? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mewild58" wrote: I have added page breaks to my document however I can only see them when I have "Show/Hide" formatting turned on (the number of pages at the bottom left corner shows correctly).

Page Breaks in Word 2007
The file that I'm working with is an .htm export and because I need to add
page breaks, I'm saving it as a .doc file. I initially was saving the file as .xls however I then had problems with 16+ digit invoice numbers truncating. Exporting the file to Word retains these numbers however the problem then was with page breaks. I run this file twice a month and I figured out (or fell into) how to do them on my last run however didn't write it down so was back to square one this time! The only way that I've been able to figure out a work around is in Page Layout - Paragraph - Line and Page Breaks to check off "Page break before" which seems to force the break however doesn't remain checked so I would have to do it for each one and when I have over 100 breaks to insert, this is way too time consuming. My work around was to just copy the breaks from my previous file. "Stefan Blom" wrote: This sounds strange. It seems as if the document might be damaged.

Page Breaks in Word 2007
I forgot to mention in my previous message that since your manual page
breaks are only visible when you display nonprinting marks, the breaks could have been inadvertently formatted as hidden text (Font dialog box). You may want to look into that. Also, note that "Page break before" formatting can be saved to a paragraph style, which certainly makes it easier to apply. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mewild58" wrote in message ...

Page Breaks in Word 2007
I checked a normal page break and it is formatted as hidden text and when I
uncheck it, it shows up. Not sure if this is normal or because I'm starting with the .htm export. I created the style like you suggested and that will work nicely. At least now I won't have to remember what I did last time! Thanks so much for your help with this. You've saved me tons of time!

Page Breaks in Word 2007
I'm glad I could help.
I don't think the hidden formatting has anything to do with the fact that the document was initially in HTML format. It's more likely that you, or someone else editing the document, pressed Ctrl+Shift+H by mistake (the keyboard shortcut for hidden formatting). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mewild58" wrote in message ...
