[seoulguy]

Thanks for the note, but I guess I'm still not making myself clear. I'm NOT
creating a Word document; I'm uploading a Word doc from my hard drive, and it
DOES NOT OPEN IN WORD THE WAY IT WAS SAVED; it WAS NOT SAVED IN PRINT VIEW;
IT DISPLAYS IN PRINT VIEW, but thanks anyway.

Your OS is irrelevant here. Your description of the previous page view ("The
doc looked like a doc, margins, and all") sounds like Print Layout view, not
Normal view, which does not show margins.

Regardless of view, page numbers never advance as you scroll until you move
the insertion point. As you scroll down through a document (using the slider
on the scroll bar or clicking below it) the IP stays where you left it. If
you press the spacebar, you will insert a space back on page 1 or wherever
you were. If you use the browse arrows instead, you actually advance the IP
to a new page.

Followup to Ms. Barnhill:

1. My Word 2002 runs on XP Home. Until a few days ago, ALL docs opened
in
the way they were saved; suddenly all docs DO NOT open in the way they
were
saved; they ALL (including my own previous correspondence, resumes, etc.)
open IN PRINT VIEW.

2. Page numbers on the horizontal bar, say 1/9, 2/9, 3/9, etc. DO NOT
MOVE
as the doc is scrolled. Page 1 and 1/9, for example, stay Page 1 and 1/9,
even as the doc is scrolled to the end.

3. View is set to Normal.

4. I've never had to adjust the views previously and never have used
print
layout, except when measuring a letter of my own for print pages.

But thanks for the note.

I'm confused by your description, and I suspect so are you. Some things
that
may help:

1. Normal view shows continuous text on a solid window in your chosen
window
color, interrupted by dotted lines showing page breaks.

2. Print Layout view shows the entire page against a gray background; if
you
have suppressed white space, you will get a continuous document with
lines
where the headers and footers should be (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm).

3. Documents are displayed in the view in which they are saved (mostly);
the
"white space" setting is an exception; see €œWD2002: Rules for €˜Hide
white
space between pages€� at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=297564

4. The status bar should be displayed in all views if you have it
checked on
the View tab of Tools | Options.

I don't understand what you mean about pages not moving with the scroll.

I edit client docs (scientific). These are uploaded to my hard drive,
then
downloaded to Word. Up to now, no problem. The doc looked like a
doc,
margins, and all, plus page counter. I just clicked TRK and went to
work.

Suddenly, all docs opened in print layout, despite using \a and
numerous
other troubleshooting devices. Changing to normal, lower horizontal
bar
shows, but pages don't move with the scroll; in fact, page breaks show
instead. This isn't normal.

And, yes, I renamed normal.dot -- didn't help.

Anyone had a similar occurrence?

Thanks.
