My problem is that my margins have disappeared, literally overnight, and yet
my margin and formatting settings are EXACTLY the same as they were before it
happened. I have to write papers in APA format, and I had an inch space from
the top of the page to where the writing begins, and now the typing cursor
starts at the very top of the page and will keep going to the very bottom
without formatting a new blank page. Also, in Web Layout view, which is how I
normally type, the margins are in fact shown on the sides, but the paper
itself simply does not "obey" them. I don't know if any of this makes sense,
so I have here links to images of what my pages looked like before and after:

After: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t_87/After.jpg

Anyone who could help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Move the cursor over the boundary between any two pages and note the pointer
arrow changes to two opposing arrows (pointing up and down). If you have
Tooltips enabled, the popup will say (Show White Space).
