You might also want different people to review different parts of a document, and hidden text presents a simple way to show only those parts that you need a person to review (as long as you don’t mind them seeing the hidden text if they find it). One great use for this is if you had a document you want to print and hand out to an audience, but you wanted your copy of the document to contain notes just for you. If you want to print a document without some text showing up, you can do that with hidden text (although make sure you haven’t turned on the option to print hidden text). If you don’t want someone to read something you’ve written, either remove the text entirely or don’t send the document to them. So it’s not a security measure, and you should never rely on hidden text to prevent a determined person from reading something in your document. Instead of removing the text, Word applies a formatting mark that means “don’t display this text.”īecause hidden text is just standard text with formatting marks applied, anyone who can edit the document can search for hidden text and display it. How can I go about troubleshooting this? I suspect it's a very simple setting that I've changed accidentally, but having spent an hour trying to fix it (including reinstalling Word from scratch) I haven't been able to find a solution.Word hides text by using formatting marks-the same way you’d format text as bold or italic. But that's not how the document appears in Word. If I create a PDF in Preview from this document, it appears as I would expect it to: with a big margin at the top, and with each page the same size. Thirdly, there used to be a much bigger gap between the pages while there is a grey line between the pages, there is hardly any gap at all. Also, the text on each page appear almost flush to the top of that page. That is, the height of each page isn't fixed instead, it is set by the amount of text it contains. Now, when I select "print layout" in any newly created Word document - or in one document that I have been working on for a while - the document appears as in this image:
When I selected "print layout" in Word, it used to work as intended and display documents as they would print out.
