Page breaks in Mac Word 2004 when inserting revisions

[Malcolm Levitt]

Hi there,
I've just installed Office 2004 and already I have an annoying problem with
Word 2004. When I am viewing revisions in Page Layout view, crazy page
breaks appear before every subheading, requiring annoying page scrolls all
the time. The spurious page breaks can be made to disappear by turning off
viewing of revisions, but this defeats the purpose of this mode. Does anyone
have a work around?
This problem did not exist in Office X.

I'm trying to reproduce this, and can't find a way to make page breaks
appear or disappear by viewing revisions.

When you turn on the Show/Hide control, do you get actual page breaks
(e.g., a dotted line with "Page Break" in the middle)?

What do you mean by "subheading" - are all your "subheadings" the same
style?

What do you mean by "turning off all viewing of revisions"? The
reviewing pane? Selecting "Original" in the Display for Review control
on the Reviewing toolbar? Is Track Changes on or off?

What are you displaying (e.g., the Show control on the Reviewing
Toolbar: Comments? Insertions and Deletions? Formatting?)

Are you using balloons to display comments and tracked changes?

I can imagine that while tracking changes, he added a "page break before" to
one heading, and having the heading style set to automatically update, it
added a "page break before" to every heading, but of course hiding the
tracked changes would also hide the page breaks. If fact, I just managed to
duplicate that.

Obviously, if that were the case, then answers to your questions should
bring it out.

Well, that was the idea, anyway <g>.

I should have said "I can't find a way to make page breaks appear or
disappear by viewing revisions other than changing the styles to include
page breaks."

Well, no, of course not. I more meant to give the original poster a
scenario that made the questions critical, in case he decided to be
recalcitrant, and go, "huh! I don't see why this matters! You're just trying
to pretend it's not a bug!" Probably that's a little too neurotically
pre-emptive.
