"Hide white space"
is there a way to prevent the "Hide White Space" from popping up when the
mouse is between pages? I have had several people accidentally select this, then get wigged out when they can't see the margins or information that is in the space. I'd love to set some sort of default so that is not even an option. |

You and many other people!
If you could put the following into a macro with the same name as the command it in a global template it would work, but I don't know the name of the Word command. Anyone else know it?

"Hide white space"
It's no big deal, once you are aware of it, to click in the grey space above
or below the page to toggle the display, or if desparate you could add the command ActiveWindow.View.DisplayPageBoundaries = True to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot so at least you would start each document without it; or if you find it simpler to use a toolbar button add the following toggle to a button. Sub ToggleWhiteText() With ActiveWindow.View .DisplayPageBoundaries = Not .DisplayPageBoundaries End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Charles Kenyon wrote: You and many other people!
