Word file corrupted so page looks squashed and margins missing
Can you help?
My word document has just flipped and the page looks squashed and margins are not visible. All new documents are the same and I can't put it back to as it was. Help! |

In Word, if you are working in Normal view, then switch to Print Layout
view. Then click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the "White space between pages" box | OK. Sue B wrote: Can you help? My word document has just flipped and the page looks squashed and margins are not visible. All new documents are the same and I can't put it back to as it was. Help! |

Thanks a lot - this works well.
Also on digging futher another contributor (I'm afraid I can't remember his name) suggested looking at http://www.gmayor.com/white_space.htm which shows graphically exactly how it happens in the first place - really useful!! Thanks again Sue B "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: In Word, if you are working in Normal view, then switch to Print Layout view.

Similar information is also provided at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm. The fact that Graham and I both independently wrote articles about this at about the same time just suggests how widespread and universally puzzling the problem is (we'd replied to a *lot* of posts about it). I understand that the problem has been alleviated in Word 2007 (on the recommendation of the Word MVPs, I might add) by requiring Ctrl+click to Show/Hide White Space. -- Suzanne S.
