removing ALL page breaks in a Word document

[Guest]

Hi All

is there a way of removing all page breaks in a Word document in one go,
rather than individually?

Thanks.

Note that if you are trying to *hide* the page breaks (automatic as well
as manual), but not actually remove them, you can hide white space
between pages: On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the View tab.
Clear the "White space between pages" option and click OK.

Or, of course, just view the document in Normal/Draft view (though I confess
that I am using Print Layout view a lot more now that I can hide the white
space).

Good point.

FWIW, I usually use Print Layout but I would never hide the white space:
it just looks too strange to me...

You can get used to it very easily (especially if you're use to Normal
view). It allows you to read (and also select) continuously but still be
able to see some elements that aren't visible in Normal view.
