For some reason, when I opened Word 2003 today, everything in a document has
shifted left. When I would view my documents before, they were centered in
the page no matter what margins I had selected. Now, everything is far left.
When I look at the ruler at the top of the page, it only goes to 7", even
though my page setup shows 8.5 x 11. My older documents are ok. I tried
changing the Normal.dot template but it won't let me change the margins.
Help!

It sounds as if you are in Normal view. Try switching to Print Layout view.

One possibility - Could it be that you've managed a switch to Normal View?
Take a look in the View menu & select Print Layout or click the Print Layout
View (middle) button in the lower left corner of the document window.

Thanks for your response, but I figured it out by browsing some other posts.
Somehow the "markup" view was selected. Once I de-selected it, everything
went back to normal.
