If you are using Word's default margin settings, the default margin width is
6". I suspect what you're encountering is that your Blank Document is set to two columns, one of them being 6" wide? No one seems to know what causes this, but it is reported quite frequently. The solution in a document is to go to Format | Columns, click One, and OK. If the probably is occurring in all new documents, you'll need to make the change in Normal.dot. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions on finding and modifying Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S.
