See only Pagebreak Formatting mark

[zSplash]

Is there a way to make it so that in View: printLayout I can see the
pagebreak formatting mark? (I don't want to "view" all the other marks that
become visible if I do Tools | Options | Formatting marks: All) I don't
want to change the view to Normal view.

TIA

Hi Tia,

Programmatically, this should do it:

Sub ViewParaMark()
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowTabs = False
.ShowSpaces = False
.ShowParagraphs = True
.ShowHyphens = False
.ShowHiddenText = False
.ShowAll = False
.ShowObjectAnchors = False
.ShowTextBoundaries = False
End With
End Sub


You can set this without using VBA if you want.
Make sure Show/Hide is OFF (ctrl+shift+8 toggles it)
Then choose Tools, Options, View.
Check the Paragraph Marks check box.

That's not possible. As there seems to be no reason that it should not be,
you might send a request for it to (e-mail address removed)
