Hi there,

I have a very strange problem with Word:
After a certain point in a document, the pages are no longer displayed in the print view, although it is visible at the bottom that the pages are there (page x of xx). In all other views (draft, outline, web layout), however, the whole content can be seen. The trigger seems to be a formula (formula editor) that is followed by two line feeds. If I delete a line break, the following pages are no longer displayed.
Does any

Does anyone have an idea why this could be?
For your information, I work with Mac, the formulas were inserted by my client, who does not work with Mac.
Thanks for all the tips - it's a big mystery to me 🤨

Portrait to landscape ? Dec 9, 2022

Does the document switch from portrait view to landscape at some point?

No, its always portrait ...
I very much suspect it has something to do with the formulas but I'm quite lost ...

Pages ... Dec 9, 2022

... works! But how to proceed from here? And I still don't see any reason why this problem happens when opening the document in Word.

After opening the file in Pages, export it from Pages as a Word file - just a suggestion.

Thanks! Dec 9, 2022

After all, that worked! But why this problem occurred in the first place is still a mystery to me. But maybe I don't need to know that exactly either 😏
Many thanks, Tom, you made my day!
