    Hi all,

    Can someone advise if we can disable/remove the "Page Break Preview" function in Excel?

    Thank you.

    Hi Jrvs2018. Welcome to the forum.

    If you are talking about the dotted lines that show up after Print Preview go to File > Options > Display options for this worksheet > uncheck Show page breaks.

    I found it a pain to do all those steps every time this happened so I built a macro and assigned it to my Quick Access Toolbar.

    Here's the code. It toggles those breaks off and on.

    Not that I am aware of it, but it's late right now.

    Give it a day or so. You've got a good thread title so if any one knows the answer for certain they are likely to see this.

    Note: Please mind the spaces.. Sucuri wont permit the code above
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
