[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

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

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?
