margins
I've been unable to adjust the starting point for headings, paragraphs, etc.
in a document I'm working in. The margins are set for 1" (top & bottom) but the starting point for typing begins 1" below the "gray area" on the ruler. To no avail, I attempted to fix by adjusting the margins in page setup. When I originally opened the document, this problem did not exist and i cannot for the life of me think of anything I did to change it. Any suggestions??? |

Basically the problem is regardless of what I have the the top/bottom margins
(whether it be 1" or 5") set at, the top and bottom lines of text are always in the same place. I checked the site that you all suggested but I don't think it's the problem. I can see whole page. I just can't change my starting/stopping point on a page. "Suzanne S.

Does your style have some Space Before? Is the vertical alignment set to
Center (Layout tab of Page Setup)? -- Suzanne S.

I deleted the headers/footers my margins were fixed. My old assistant said
(after the fact) that the header/footer box increased in size (apparently a common occurance??) and I could have just deleted lines w/ in the header/footer box to fix the problem. Anyway....thanks for the help. Greatly appreciate it. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Does your style have some Space Before?
