Fixing the Normal Template
SOLUTION FOUND: I've read that a number of folks using Word 2003 have
experienced trouble with the cursor appearing at the very top of a new document (Normal template) and the top margin doesn't display in Layout View, although it's correct in Print Preview mode. I too recently experienced this very frustrating problem. After following the instructions of renaming the existing Normal template so word would re-create a fresh Normal template and even completely reinstalling Microsoft Office (neither of which corrected the "problem"), I discovered an answer by Susan S. Barnhill that COMPLETELY RESOLVES THE ISSUE. (So Susan, you totally rock!) However, her answer it's kind of hidden so I hope this makes it easier to find. If this is your problem, there's nothing wrong with your Normal template. Instead, go to ToolsOptionsView. Click the check box for White Space between Pages and click OK. That fixes it! For an explanation of this, see the following: http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm Thanks again to Susan S. Barnhill's expertise for this solution. |
