Maybe I'm being overdramatic, but I start to have short term memory issues and suddenly can't remember where the sentence left off by the time I get to the next word on the next page.  Which makes editing frustrating, or formatting frustrating, or just working in Word frustrating. ![Thoughtful senior lady sitting at home with her fingers to her chin reminiscing and recalling fond memories, close up portrait](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Thoughtful%20senior%20lady%20sitting%20at%20home%20with%20her%20fingers%20to%20her%20chin%20reminiscing%20and%20recalling%20fond%20memories%2c%20close%20up%20portrait.jpeg?width=462&height=308&name=Thoughtful%20senior%20lady%20sitting%20at%20home%20with%20her%20fingers%20to%20her%20chin%20reminiscing%20and%20recalling%20fond%20memories%2c%20close%20up%20portrait.jpeg) Luckily for me, there's actually a way around this silly problem.  You can basically turn off a feature in Word so that each page seamlessly runs together, without the inch or two chasm that usually separates the pages. In Word, simply click on File, and go all the way down to Options. ![file options](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/file%20options.jpg?width=148&height=814&name=file%20options.jpg) This will bring up a box.  On the left, you will want to choose Display. ![display](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/display.jpg?width=832&height=679&name=display.jpg) And then you will see that that top option is to Show white space between pages in Print Layout View.  If you want to have a seamless experience, then UNCHECK that box.  And then hit OK at the bottom. ![check box](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/check%20box.jpg?width=833&height=679&name=check%20box.jpg) And just like that, no more feeling like you're jumping between pages!   At this point, are any of you surprised that something so simple could make me so happy? ![Happy woman with thumbs up - isolated over a white background](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Happy%20woman%20with%20thumbs%20up%20-%20isolated%20over%20a%20white%20background.jpeg?width=559&height=387&name=Happy%20woman%20with%20thumbs%20up%20-%20isolated%20over%20a%20white%20background.jpeg)   [Microsoft 365](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/microsoft-365), [Microsoft Word](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/microsoft-word) ## Related posts [![](https://www.inmotionnet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shalone-cason-UHXQXcQqSoM-unsplash.jpg?height=200&name=shalone-cason-UHXQXcQqSoM-unsplash.jpg)](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/larilyns-tip-of-the-week-microsoft-word-filler-text) [Microsoft 365](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/microsoft-365), [Microsoft Word](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/microsoft-word), [BusinessApps](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/businessapps), [DigitalEfficiency](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/digitalefficiency), [Microsoft365](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/tag/microsoft365) ## [Larilyn's Tip of the Week: Microsoft Word - Filler Text](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/larilyns-tip-of-the-week-microsoft-word-filler-text) [Larilyn Holt](https://www.inmotionnet.com/blog/author/larilyn-holt) Feb 28, 2025 4:30:00 AM I have a confession.
