Are you in Print Layout view (View Print Layout)?
The margins are not shown if you are in Normal view (View Normal). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "1foxi" wrote: Im in word and my margins have just dissapeared.

Do you have your Zoom set to Text Width? Set it to Page Width instead. If
that isn't it, what version of Word are we talking about? -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "1foxi" wrote in message ...

My margins are missing
Just so I'm clear - you're saying that no white space is visible on either
of the 4 edges of the page when in Print Layout View *or* Print Preview. Is this one specific doc or with any doc including new ones? Your text runs from edge to edge. Before trying anything else you might just take a look in FilePage Setup to make sure your margins aren't set to 0. If there are valid values, something else is definitely wrong - especially if the side margins aren't showing up. There is no provision for hiding them such as the White Space feature does for Top & Bottom. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "1foxi" wrote in message ...

My margins are missing
Hi,
Sorry for not being clear. Yes there is white space, I just cant see the top margin ruler or the side margin rulers! All of sudden they just went?? It doesnt matter if I open a old doc or a new blank one it still does not show the rulers at the top or sides! Ive also tried going into the different layouts Print, Web, Reading etc but that makes no difference neither. I looked at my page setup and the margins are set at 2.54 Top&Bottom and 3.17 Left&Right.And i also have the white space box ticked!!!!! Hope you can help. and thanks :-) Claire "CyberTaz" wrote: Just so I'm clear - you're saying that no white space is visible on either of the 4 edges of the page when in Print Layout View *or* Print Preview.

My margins are missing
Hi Cybertaz,
I have white space yes. I just cant see the margin rules at the top or sides!!! I checked in Page set up and my margins are set to 2.54 (Left&Right) and 3.17 (top&Bottom). This happens even if I open a old document or new doc!!

My margins are missing
Well, we've already established, I think, that it's your rulers (not your
margins) that are actually missing. View | Ruler should bring them back. If you don't see the vertical ruler, make sure that check box is checked on the View tab of Tools | Options. And note that if you had text boundaries displayed, you'd get a visual representation of your margins, which I would feel very much at sea without. -- Suzanne S.
