See:
http://www.gmayor.com/white_space.htm Being a notorious poor speller myself I am going to suggest that you investigate the spell check feature and perhaps experiment with the shift key. Mastery of both will go a long way in making your questions easier to read. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. revivalgurl wrote: hi i am having problems with the ms 2003 word. around the side of the screen there is ushaly a grey space aprox 2cm but now when i open it up the white goes to the very edge of the screen i tried to reinstil ms word to go back to the defult settings but i opened msword again and i am still having the same problems with it how can i change this |

Are there no courtesy requirements for becomng an MVP?
What, if anything, did you see in that gray space? Did you try clicking the "Document Map" button on the toolbar (just left of the paragraph-mark button)? Or the "Styles Pane," which I find no earthly use for, but you can get from the View menu IIRC?

What pray tell is discourteous about answering the question to the best of
my ability (I still believe the answer is contained in the link I posted) and then offerring a suggestion that correct spelling or a little more care in preparing the question might make it easier to answer. Please don't give me the line of horse#$%* that not everyone speaks English as a native language and may not be able to do any better. There are support formums in other languages as well. I suppose you feel you must take a jab at an MVP when the opportunity arises.

It sounds as if you normally operate in Print Layout view and have wandered
into some other view--Normal or possibly Web Layout. On the View menu, choose Print Layout and see if that restores what you usually see. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
There is nothing wrong with my day. I just don't care for someone come out firing guns at me without cause. I tried to answer the girls question by directing her to Graham's page on white space. Apparently Grammatim didn't see the link. That isn't my fault. Instead he decided to declare himself the courtesy police. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Suzanne S.

I won't bother replying to the _followup_ email he sent me.
OP's query was about a "2 cm grey space around the side of the screen," which has nothing to do with the White Space command. Never before have I seen MVPs making remarks about people's spelling or punctuation, but that he reacted so testily suggests that he has been called on this before. -- On Feb 10, 3:25*pm, "Greg Maxey" wrote: Suzanne, There is nothing wrong with my day. *I just don't care for someone come out firing guns at me without cause.

Don't flatter yourself. At least now you seem to grudingly admit that there
was more to my original reply than a complaint about the girls spelling. Perhaps it was an incorrect response but it certainly wasn't a complaint and you certainly had no business lecturing me about courtesy here or anywhere else. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ grammatim wrote: I won't bother replying to the _followup_ email he sent me.

FWIW, if you haven't seen MVPs (or anyone else) commenting on spelling and
punctuation, just stick around. There are several who from time to time get impatient with people "texting" their questions (often in the subject line rather than the message body), and, as Greg suggested, it's not always a result of unfamiliarity with the language--just plain laziness or slovenliness. If I'm short of time I won't even bother trying to decipher questions that appear to be all one long phrase (no punctuation or capitalization), though in fairness these often do appear to have been posted by speakers of Asian languages that don't have such refinements. -- Suzanne S.

As an attempt to get your question back on track, could you let us know if
you have the issue resolved? To summarize the suggestions offered: - Verify the issue isn't due to suppressed white space. If what you are missing is the top margin and visual of "gray space" isn't present at the top: Go to Tools/Options/View and make sure "White space between pages" is selected. - Verify you are using Page Layout view. If you aren't seeing any "gray space" around the entire document: on the View menu, choose Print Layout. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Hi gurl,
If you are in Print Layout view (View=Print Layout), what is the View=Zoom setting you have? If it's set to 'page width' that can push the 'page' to the edges of the screen. If you've changed your Windows desktop appearance/screen settings it's possible that something there or in the Windows accessibility settings would change the color you saw as grey. ================ "revivalgurl" wrote in message ... thankyou for all your guys help! (please note the use of punctuation - for all that are worried) unfortunitly (excuse my spelling) none of that worked but thankyou for your time and patience. i guess i will just have to put up with it. -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This post and its responses were entertaining if nothing else. Thank you Ms. Barnhill for suggesting the print layout view, as that's what I thought of first. It could very well be the cause. revivalgurl: Don't be intimidated. Peoples frustrations are often misplaced, so don't take it too personally. Hope you find a soluton to your problem. mistur maxy: chill "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: FWIW, if you haven't seen MVPs (or anyone else) commenting on spelling and punctuation, just stick around. There are several who from time to time get impatient with people "texting" their questions (often in the subject line rather than the message body), and, as Greg suggested, it's not always a result of unfamiliarity with the language--just plain laziness or slovenliness. If I'm short of time I won't even bother trying to decipher questions that appear to be all one long phrase (no punctuation or capitalization), though in fairness these often do appear to have been posted by speakers of Asian languages that don't have such refinements. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ... I won't bother replying to the _followup_ email he sent me. OP's query was about a "2 cm grey space around the side of the screen," which has nothing to do with the White Space command. Never before have I seen MVPs making remarks about people's spelling or punctuation, but that he reacted so testily suggests that he has been called on this before. -- On Feb 10, 3:25 pm, "Greg Maxey" wrote: Suzanne, There is nothing wrong with my day. I just don't care for someone come out firing guns at me without cause. I tried to answer the girls question by directing her to Graham's page on white space. Apparently Grammatim didn't see the link. That isn't my fault. Instead he decided to declare himself the courtesy police. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web sitehttp://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web sitehttp://word.mvps.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Suzanne S.

I certainly would not have replied to "Greg Maxey"'s email if I had known he had committed the ultimate discourtesy of emailing a copy of a newsgroup posting to me. On Feb 10, 8:35 am, "Greg Maxey" wrote: What pray tell is discourteous about answering the question to the best of my ability (I still believe the answer is contained in the link I posted) and then offerring a suggestion that correct spelling or a little more care in preparing the question might make it easier to answer. Please don't give me the line of horse#$%* that not everyone speaks English as a native language and may not be able to do any better. There are support formums in other languages as well. I suppose you feel you must take a jab at an MVP when the opportunity arises. Have a nice day. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See:http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. grammatim wrote: Are there no courtesy requirements for becomng an MVP? What, if anything, did you see in that gray space? Did you try clicking the "Document Map" button on the toolbar (just left of the paragraph-mark button)? Or the "Styles Pane," which I find no earthly use for, but you can get from the View menu IIRC?
