Top margins not displaying properly
PPT2K7
I opened up Word today to write a new Document and my cursor was stuck right at the top of the page, like my Top Margin was set to 0. But its not... Its set to 1" "Normal" through the Page LayoutMargins tab... My view is set to Print Layout. If I open up an old document everything displays properly. With a new document, no such luck. If I do a Print Preview the margins are there, but Word is cutting off the top margin area when I am looking at my page in Print View... How the heck do I fix this? My new Document has the exact same settings as the old documents, and even changing the margins to 5" or something crazy just results in a smaller area to type in... smaller work space because the margins are bigger BUT I want to see the page as it will be as it will print, not this neutered view! All my old documents are fine, but any created with NewBlank Document comes out all jacked up and I can't seem to change it. Also, I can change the top and bottom, left and right margins from the Rulers by dragging the darker area bigger or smaller on the old documents. I am locked out of this ability in any NEW document. And I can't seem to get that control back!! Help!!!! Help!! |

Top margins not displaying properly

Why did this turn itself off? Its been the same since I installed Word, but today it changes? How can I stop it from changing again??

Top margins not displaying properly
It happens when you click between pages at an inopportune moment. You can
reverse it by clicking again, as explained in the article. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Brian Lynn" wrote in message ...
