Default Normal View Display Issue

You can send the document to me. Since the problem occurs in only a single
doc, it's possible that looking at it would provide an answer.

Don't have a place to post it. I could email it if necessary.

Can you post a screen shot somewhere?

This is no ruler above this white section. The ruler appears as normal
above
the text. I have changed back and forth between Normal view and Print
Layout
view so I know that this is in Normal view. Other documents that I
open
and
switch to Normal view do not appear this way.

You will ordinarily have a large white area to the right in Normal
view.
You
will have a white margin to the left if you have indented the text or
if
you
have shifted the view to the left by Shift+clicking on the left arrow
on
the
horizontal scroll bar (but this view will ordinarily not survive a
change
from Normal to Print Layout view and back). If the horizontal ruler is
displayed, you should be able to tell something from where the margin
and
indent markers are.

Is there any division between the text and this white area (a bar of
any
kind)? Are you sure you're not in Print Layout view with white space
hidden?

There is nothing in the white space. It is like a large margin on
both
the
left and right side but it only appears while in Normal view.

What is displayed in the white area you are describing? Do you see
any
text
at all, such as "Normal"?

So this *is* the Document Map?

Just the title shows up in the document map.

Is this perhaps the Style Area or Document Map?

A customer is having a problem with a Word document when in
the
Normal
View.
When the document is opened, the screen appears to "jump"
and
then a
left
white space appears to the left of the text along with the
scroll
bar
at
the
bottom. If you switch to Print Layout view or view the
document
in
Print
Preview, it appears as normal. If you print it, it appears
as
normal.
The
left and right margins are set to 0.6. Any ideas why this
is
happening
when
in Normal View?
