How do I make page breaks show in draft view
When writing in Draft View, the page breaks don't show (I'm using Word 2007,
but saving as 97-2003). How can I make them show, please? Thanks. |

How do I make page breaks show in draft view
Here's what I'm seeing in Word 2007:
1. Native-format Word 2007 documents: "soft" page breaks are displayed in Draft view regardless of settings; manual page breaks are displayed only when nonprinting characters are displayed, and they are displayed as a short dotted line with "Page Break" in the center. 2. Word 97-2003 format documents: both "soft" and manual page breaks are displayed in Draft view regardless of setting, and the manual break is a dotted line clear across the screen with "Page Break" in the center. So, in Compatibility Mode, you should be seeing both kinds of page breaks regardless of your view settings. I do recall, however, that there were a lot of posts on this subject earlier, so I'm wondering if this is something that was fixed by an update. Is your copy of Word/Office 2007 fully patched up to date? Note that if you want to see page breaks in Draft view in .docx documents without displaying *all* nonprinting characters, you can choose to display just spaces, as evidently the "Spaces" toggle also controls the page breaks. -- Suzanne S.
