¶/show-all: get more selective?
I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no, and I might have even asked this somewhere previously but... Is there anyway at all to get more fine control over "show all"/ctrl-*/non-printing-characte...
You can fine-tune in the Windows version using File > Options > Display.
There are individual controls for many formatting marks. Unfortunately, page breaks/column breaks/section breaks are not ones set for individual controls.
There are a number of vba choices for ActiveWindow.View.
but I do not know that any of them control this.

Ah! For some reason my memory was that there was no control at all over this. Now I can see that there is almost full control over this -- except for the thing I want (breaks).
I think the situation is probably hopeless but I did explore ActiveWindow.View. This did nothing:
Sub ShowAllNoSpaces()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowAll = True
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowSpaces = False
End Sub
Presumably because ShowAll is its own property, not just a command to show each type of marker.
Not sure what "ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowOptionalBreaks" does, but doesn't seem to help here. Oh well!
