SYMPTOMS
The Background Repagination option is selected and is unavailable (dimmed) for you to clear (turn off).

To locate this option, on the Tools menu, click Options and select the General tab.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because you are viewing the current document in page layout view. By design, page layout view requires that Background Repagination be turned on, because Word must show the page breaks correctly.



RESOLUTION
To turn off Background Repagination, change the document view to normal, outline, or master document view.



MORE INFORMATION
Repagination in Word cannot be totally turned off. This is because Word has to repaginate the document in page layout view and in print preview in order to correctly display the document.
