Word Page Layout
Hi Jay,
Firstly I'm using Windows XP My Software is Office Enterprise 2007 For some reason it is happening on each and every document I open. On the screen there is a blue dotted box line around any text I type which I now think is a frame because when I right click on the blue dotted line it appears that I can format this frame, if I remove frame I am then able to access page layout, how can I stop this coming on each and every new document? Regards, Sylvia -- Hoping someone out there can help me.

Sylvia,
Doug Robbins is correct, the solution is at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm. I just want to add a small modification and the reasoning behind this. The modification is that you need to change the file "Normal.dotm" rather than "Normal.dot". This is a difference between Word 2007 and previous versions. You should be able to find and open that file with the Open dialog (Ctrl+O) by clicking the Trusted Templates icon on the left side of the dialog. The frame is paragraph formatting, and it has accidentally become applied to the empty paragraph mark in your Normal.dotm template. The fix is to remove the formatting from that template.
