Margins and tabs in Word not holding
I'm working on a Word doc (200 pages). Not every time, but quite often when
it's reopened, the type is scattered all over the page. The margins and tabbed info are not where they were when the doc was saved and closed and everything has to be adjusted once more. Any idea how to fix this problem? Using Office 2003, Student version - on XP. Incidentally, this was originally a PowerPoint slide document from another source which I saved in my PowerPoint and then copied into Word. I've had others tell me they have this same problem with Word documents, which makes me believe it is a Word problem rather than a PowerPoint problem. -- Southern gal living up north |

Mmmm, my best guess would be that the document may be set to automatically update styles. (Although this shouldn't affect margin settings, but you may be using "margin" for something different than I do.) Check he Tools/template and Add-ins. Is the "Automatically update styles on open" setting activated? If it is, remove the check in the checkbox, make your changes, then save the document.
