Hi. The page isn't separated by a white line. Instead of the top of my page
beginning at the 2" mark (w/ top margin being set at 1"), the cursor is at the very top of the page, just underneath the ruler. There's no headspace. However, if I look at page preview, or if I print the document, it looks correct and it prints at the 1" mark. It's just hard trying to type a document with the cursor beign just underneat the ruler.

Did you look at the referenced article? If you can't be bothered to do that,
go to Tools | Options | View, and check the box for "White space between pages." -- Suzanne S.

Did you even click on the link? It doesn't suggest there's a white line
between your pages. WhiteSpace refers to the white space having vanished. There's a picture to illustrate, and everything you describe sounds like that link gives you the fix. So you will have to read the link and say how your situation is different if that link doesn't fix it. Alternatively, made sure View is not set to Normal. You can see the text you are typing, right? It's just that you can't see where the top margin should be? On 7/7/05 11:49 AM, "mwcmax99" wrote: Hi. The page isn't separated by a white line.

Yes, I read the referenced article, and then I re-read it. If I do as the
article suggests, I get a dotted-looking line around the margins in the document. This is not what I want. I want the document to appear as it normally would as if you had hit "new document" and a new window appears. I have noticed that on previous documents, the ruler on the left side of the page shows a small blue horizontal bar at the number 1 from the top of the ruler down to where the top margin (or top line of the document begins). There is no blue line in the new documents, all you can see is a little blue speck. I've tried to drag this down, but nothing moves. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. "Suzanne S.

Yes, I've clicked on the link & read the article several times. The article
reads "...The reason for this is a new feature added in Word 2002 that allows users to hide the "white space" between pages. This option may be toggled on the View tab of Tools | Options, as shown in Figure 2." Which to me suggests that this problem has to do w/ a multipage document. Whenever I click for a blank document, there is only 1 page, so I'm not missing a white line between pages. I am typing in print layout view, zoom is set to page width (have tried text width, whole page width, etc.) with the same result. Thanks anways, I figure it out, I'll post the answer.

Did following the article bring back your margins? Does the first
illustration in the article adequately display what is happening on your computer? Try unchecking "text boundaries" in the same location, Tools | Options, View, re the dotted line.

I think you must have checked the wrong box. It sounds as if you checked the
box for "Text boundaries" instead of "White space between pages." -- Suzanne S.

page margin view
I have exactly the same problem. It is random and annoying. To fix I went
into page layout and just reselected the same things and it fixed, but it is temporary. Any permanent fix out there? "Serenity2u" wrote: I am working in the Print Layout view of a Word document.
