I just switched to Mac this week, and thus far, am very pleased with my decision, however, there's one feature that I used to have in Word on my PC that I can't find on Mac.

When viewing a Word document in Print Layout with two or more pages, on my PC, when I slide the cursor to the gray space between the bottom of the last page and the top of the next page, my cursor icon would change, indicating the option I have to click on the gray space and get rid of it. Meaning, instead of the default Print Layout view, where there is white space at the top and bottom of each page and the gray space in between, I can view my document as one huge "page" with only a horizontal line indicating the break of each page. This gets rid of the annoying extra space, but gives me all the comforts of Print Layout. Can I do this in Mac?

Hello & Welcome -

No, that "feature" hasn't made it to the Mac version. In fact, you're one of
the only responders (even in the PC Word groups) that even realize what it
is, let alone use & *like* it:-) Most just clicked it accidentally & went
into a tizzy because they had no idea why "Word changed my paper size".
Although it may not offer the "comforts" of Page Layout view, Normal/Draft
view is your alternative.

If you have any further curiosities don't hesitate to ask, but please
mention which version of Office, OS X & type of Mac each time you do. Makes
it a lot easier to give you a meaningful reply in a more timely manner. You
