Word startup default
Word requires normal.dot to be in the folder defined at tools options
file locations user templates. If it is not there when Word starts, a new one is created. When you later close Word you are then given the opportunity to save the new one Word has created. Word will not run without one or the other. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dandwr wrote: somehow word does not open normal.dot at start up - how do I correct this? |

Everything is in the right place, Normal.dot is the 'new' page I know & love
but the page that opens has very small top & bottom margins. When I 'explored' the location of 'norm', (Word closed) there was the usual ~normal as if the file had not shut down correctly. I deleted this and checked Normal.dot but word still opens the version without top & bottom margins - frustrating but not the end of the world. Many thanks for your response. -- Regards "Graham Mayor" wrote: Word requires normal.dot to be in the folder defined at tools options file locations user templates.

Double check to make sure you are in Print Preview mode rather than
Normal or Draft Mode. You may also find that you are hiding your white space. (2003: Tools, Options, View, Place a checkmark in "White space between pages (Print view only) OR (2007: Office Button, Word Options, Display, Place a checkmark in "Show white space between pages in Print Layout view") -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

If you mean the "white space" issue, it most commonly happens by accident -
clicking the top or bottom edge of a "page" while in Print Layout View toggles the white space on/off... That's real easy to do when going for the Ruler or if you are in the habit of randomly clicking in the doc window to close menus, etc. Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 12/5/07 4:23 AM, in article , "Dandwr" wrote: Wow - do not know how that box got unchecked but it has worked!
