How can I control "View Whitespace between pages" in MS Word using VBA/Macros?

Question

Is it possible to control the Tools->Options->View->"View Whitespace between pages" through VBA/Macros?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The problem is that these settings appear to be changing in a random manner

Actually your clueless users are clicking between the pages and hiding the whitespace. It's another simple click to get it back.

To do it programmatically see this link:

Add a AutoOpen macro into everyone's Normal.Dot template and add the line

ActiveWindow.View.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
