WD2007: Soft page break visibility?

[GeoBrooks]

It appears that visibility of soft page breaks in Draft view is dependent on
font. Can this be confirmed? Any way to assure their visibility?

TIA.

? A soft page break is marked by a line of dashes. What font gives you
trouble?

 

[GeoBrooks]

Oddly enough, I noticed it with Callibri, the default font for the Office
theme. There may be more.

To reproduce:
Open a new document. Type =rand(6,6), press Enter [to create a two page
document.] Select all, change font to Callibri 11 pt, switch to Draft view.
At least it's repeatable on my box.

I see the line of page break dots with Calibri at 12 pts and larger,
but with TNR at the smaller sizes too.

All the more reason not to use Calibri!

TNR? The nose runs? This nasty recession? Total noticeable runout?

What does it mean?

Times New Roman, the default font in earlier versions of Word.

I ran your test and do see the soft page break with Calibri 11.
Perhaps you need to increase your zoom level.

TNR = Times New Roman

Intriguing. 110% reveals the break.

I got into this while teaching a community college class in MS Office. In
trying to reproduce a document as in the text I came across this effect.
Unlikely my students care, but I wanted to make sure I could answer the
question should it come up. Is it because a soft page break could be
considered too small a detail to show at 100%? Seems odd.

One factor that affects things like this is monitor settings. Basically the
line is one pixel deep and there may be some combination of resolution in
use and dot pitch of the monitor that just means that line of pixels doesn't
show. Most of the time you wouldn't notice but something like this can
highlight the fact. It probably isn't a Word issue at all.
