Word 2007 and "white space"

[Nerd Tom]

In Word 2003, I could click between page borders in Print Layout view and not
only would the header and footer disappear, but ALL other white space at the
bottom of pages would also disappear. When I do this in Word 2007 (it's a
double-click now) ONLY the headers and footers disappear. I have many short
pages and do NOT want to see all of the white space at the bottom of each
page. How can I make Word 2007 behave like Word 2003?

Switch to Draft view?

I have already tried that, but I would really like to make it work the same way it worked in Word 2003 -- in Print Layout view. With all the features MS keeps putting IN to their products, I don't know why they took this one out. I'm hoping that they didn't and that I just can't find it.

It still works the same. Although the first time I tried it I received the
same results that you did. I then went into Word options and placed 'White
space between pages' on the Quick Access TB and dbl. clicked the space
between the pages and lo and behold it worked the way you would expect it to.
I removed it from QATB and it works as advertised. It doesn't make sense but
it now works for me.
