Conversion
Good day. This request was originally posted in the Page
Layout newsgroup, but so far I have not received any response. I am using Word 2002 in Windows ME. I received a document via email. When I opened it in Word, it converted from an Archive format. I saved the opened document in .doc format and did some editing to the file. I saved the second version in .doc format with a new name. My problem is that the file appeared to be in table format, so I ran the conversion from table to text and all went well. I now have a file that has no borders. The problem now is that even though I set the Page Size to have 1" left and right margins, the file still shows on the screen as being 8" wide. When I print the file, the text is wrapped to the 6.5" margins as set. How can I get the file to show the margins as set on the screen so that I can edit the file accordingly to get the best look according the placement of the text within the set margins? Thanks, I know this is probably a simple fix, but I have looked through the Help file and cannot find the answer. Danno... .. |

If you're in Normal view, clear the check box for "Wrap to window" on the

Thanks for the response, however, the "Wrap to Windows" flag is not set in Normal mode. Setting it and unsetting it made no change. Thanks. |
