Margins of 1" but what I see on screen shows no margins
This is probably a basic question but at the moment it's an annoying
encumberance. Lately my version of Word is displaying a New Document with no no margins on the screen. If I press Print Preview it looks fine but when I go back to my screen the test is at the top of the document with no space, no margin. I'm working in Print Layout. This only started recently. Prior to this when I opened a New Document the document would appear with a 1" margin on the top of the page as it always has. Your guidance and suggestions about how to rectify this situation would be appreciated. Regards, D |

Sounds like you might have the "Hide White Space" option turned on. Place
your cursor right at the top of the page, hold it still for a moment, and see if "Show White Space" appears. If it does, click on it and the top and bottom margins should appear. I hope this helps.

Thank you, that solved the problem. Your prompt response is appreciated.
Such a simple little thing, but incredibly annoying and frustrating. Regards, D "Idaho Word Man" wrote: Sounds like you might have the "Hide White Space" option turned on.

Margins of 1" but what I see on screen shows no margins
I nearly freaked the first time I had that happen to me. I remember thinking
what the heck would anyone want that feature for. And then one day earlier this year I was creating a policy manual and the formatting was driving me nuts. Too many levels, sub-entries, and bulleted points. I couldn't figure out if I'd messed up the indentation on the continuing pages. By getting rid of the white space, I could see my document's formatting much easier. Live and learn. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "View22" wrote in message ...
