Cursor jumping to middle of page
After I type one line, my cursor then jumps to the middle of the paper. I
have no idea how this started or how to stop it. The only way I can start a new document now without this happening is to open an earlier created document, erase the contents and then resave as the new document. Please advise. |

The only way I can start a new document now without this happening is to open an earlier created document, erase the contents and then resave as the new document. Please advise. It may be that the empty paragraph in the new document is set to have a very large Space After format, or the layout in Page Setup may have a vertical alignment different from "Top". In either case, this is caused by having bad formatting in the Normal.dot template. For the paragraph formatting, open a new blank document and go to Format Paragraph. If the Space Before or Space After boxes have anything other than zero -- or at most 6 to 12 points -- you need to reduce them in Normal.dot. For the alignment, go to File Page Setup Layout and look at the Vertical Alignment box; if it's "Center" or "Justified", you need to change it to "Top" in Normal.dot. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
