Unmeanted columns in FAX template download
I downloaded a fax template into Word and everytime I try to type into the
fax, the whole doc is split into columns that prevent me from using the whole horizontal space. I thought maybe this could be a problem with the normal.dot file, but when I open Word I do get a blank document. However when I try to find normal.dot in search, it's not there even though my folder option/view does have "show hidden files" checked. Can anyone explain what's going on and how to get a fax template that is not columnized. I'm using Office 2003, on a HP m7260n XP MCE. The same happens on my laptop HPzv5330 unit with XP Home. Thanks -- vince |

Unmeanted columns in FAX template download
Normal.dot is a hidden file in the folder defined at tools options file
locations user templates; but it is unlikely to be the reason why this template is set up in columns. That is almost certainly how the termplate was designed - probably by using a borderless table to create the text spaces. Verify by displaying the grid lines - Table Show Gridlines. Modify the template to suit your requirements. In fact the last sentence would apply however the template was set up. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org vince wrote: I downloaded a fax template into Word and everytime I try to type into the fax, the whole doc is split into columns that prevent me from using the whole horizontal space.

Graham:
Thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware that MS FAX Forms were set up as tables. Showing the gridlines clearly illustrated that. -- vince "Graham Mayor" wrote: Normal.dot is a hidden file in the folder defined at tools options file locations user templates; but it is unlikely to be the reason why this template is set up in columns.
