Well... using Optimal, and turning off View|Ruler (turns off the left & top rulers) does just that same with the exception of a 1/2 inch break between pages. View|Web Layout provides no page breaks at all. I doubt that a 1/2" page break vs a 'dotted line' page break would make much of a difference & if so, then I reckon that Dr. Jacobsen should just stick with MS Word or a standard text based editor. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
