Is there a way to view and edit my document without seeing the page breaks? I am writing a very long document that will never be printed, so the whole concept of a "page" is irrelevant. I'd like to see my document on my screen as just one long page. Is it possible?

Thanks for the tip. That suggestion is good, and gets the view I would like, but it has a couple of oddities that make it less than ideal. The biggest one is that the "save" option is greyed out. I can use "save as", but clearly, that is less convenient.

Before I switched to Open Office, I used Microsoft Works 4.5. It defaulted to a "pageless" view. Having such an option in Open Office would be nice.

Save is only greyed out if you haven't made any modifications to your document since it was last saved.
