= SUMMARY =

If background repagination is turned off, print preview may need to repaginate before displaying the preview. When changes are made that affect the position of page breaks, a repagination is needed. If this repagination is not handled by background repagination, then the repagination is performed in Print Preview.

To cut down on the number of times the document needs to be repaginated in print preview, turn background repagination on. This causes automatic breaks to be updated as the document is being edited. Note that background repagination will result in slower editing of large documents.

To enable background repagination, do the following:

Word Version 5.0

 * 1) From the Tools menu, choose Preferences.
 * 2) Select the background repagination check box.

Word Version 4.0

 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
 * 2) Select the background repagination check box.

For more information on background repagination, see page 437 of the version 5.0 “Microsoft Word User’s Guide” or page 288 of the version 4.0 “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual.
