How to hide Mark Entries
"Robert" <Robert[ at ]libre.gl> 10/8/2008 3:47:30 PM
Hello,
How can I hide the Mark Entries I created to build the Index of my Word 2007
document ?
Thanks in advance

They're formatted as Hidden text. When you create an index entry, Word
helpfully displays all nonprinting text
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm) so you can see
the entry.

If the ¶ button on the toolbar or ribbon looks "pressed in", click it to
turn off the nonprinting characters, and the index entries will be hidden
from view. If you want to see the entries again, maybe to edit them, click
that button again; it's an on/off toggle.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your anwer. But I still have a problem : The ¶ button doesn't
work.
In fact I noticed that have the same problem for # of legend figures,
numbers of pages... I cannot hide them (unless with a print preview)
What could be the cause of this problem. Is there somewhere a setting which
manages this display?
Thanks again

Robert

Eventually, Alt + [F9] on the whole document make the page numbers reappear.
But the Mark Entries for the Index are still displayed with their cabalistic
symbols.

It's possible to have Hidden text displayed while the other nonprinting
characters are not. Go to Office button > Word Options > Display and uncheck
the "Hidden text" option. The ¶ button only toggles the "Show all formatting
marks" option, but any others that are independently checked won't change.
