A problem opening a new word document
For some reason, when I open a new word document these days, it opens in the
print layout format, as it always has, but the cursor is at the very top edge of the page. It doesn't come down to its usual position until I open up the "view" drop down menu and click on "header and footer." Then I close the header footer bar and can get to work. I've accessed the normal.dot template, to see if the problem is in the tamplate itself, but it's perfectly fine. When I open it, the cursor is where it's supposed to be. I'm hoping someone out there has an answer to this. I want to be able to open a new word document and have the cursor be in its normal position. I'm using Microsoft office word 2003 (11.6568.6568) SP2 Thanks, in advance, for any help anyone can offer. |

A problem opening a new word document
Thanks for asking this question, I had the same problem and wasted a lot of
time trying to figure it out. Sometimes I don't follow the thought process that leads to some of these features or if anyone ever thinks through what a user might encounter. How would anyone ever guess that the cursor landing at the top left of a new document in print view is bacause a check mark is missing from hide white space? Leaves a lot to be desired in the user testing department.
