Changing the point where text starts
Recently, when i start word, the text line begins in the middle of the page
as supposed to the top of the page, and even though i have tried backspace and the mouse to go back to the top of the page, this hasn't worked. Can anyone be of help. Many thanks |

Marcel,
Have a look in File - Page-setup - Layout tab - see if next to vertical alignment you have centered instead of top. Maybe your normal.dot has enherited that setting. Open normal.dot set in to vertical alignment top and save it. If you do not know how to access normal.dot and edit it have a look he http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/...ocNotBlank.htm Luc "Marcel" schreef in bericht ...

Two settings to check in a new blank document:
1. On the Format menu, click Paragraph. On the Indents and Spacing tab, verify that Line Spacing is set to "Single", and that Spacing Before and After are both set to zero. Click OK. 2. On the File menu, click Page Setup. Click the Layout tab. Make sure that Vertical Alignment is set to "Top". If either of these methods work, follow the instructions at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm to open the Normal template as a file and do the same modifications there. Save and close the file when you are done. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Marcel" wrote in message ...

Both Luc and Stefan have pointed you in the right direction. The likelihood
is that vertical alignment is set to Center instead of Top. But note that you do NOT have to find or open Normal.dot to correct this. Just open a new blank document and, without making any other changes, change the alignment in Page Setup, then click Default... and answer Yes.
