Unchecking "Vertical ruler" should not change anything except your
perception of the problem. It's the "white space" setting that's relevant.

I found if you are having this problem you need to go to Tools, then
Options,
then uncheck: "Verticle Ruler". You may also need to check: "White Space
between pages" option. This worked for me. It was wierd as suddenly my
computer started doing this although no changes were made by me.
