New word document always defults to 5.4"
When I open up a new word document the curser automatically goes to the
center of the page. At the bottom of the document it reads (Page1, Sec 1, 1/1 At 5.4" Ln 1 and Col 1). I am unable to start a document at the top of the page. I must start the document at the middle of the page. How do I correct this problem? |

Your Normal.dot template is set to a vertical alignment of Centered. Go to File Page Setup Layout, change the vertical alignment dropdown to Top, and click the Default button to save the setting to the template. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How you correct the problem depends on which version of Word you have.
Unfortunately, you don't seem to know, and we can't see your screen from here. In Word 2003 or earlier, click on File | Page Setup | Layout tab | Vertical alignment: Top | Apply to: Whole document | Default | OK. In Word 2007, click on Page Layout | Marginns: Custom Margins | Layout tab | Vertical alignment: Top | Apply to: Whole document | Default | OK. If you are prompted to save changes to your global template when you exit Word, say yes. Apple6102 wrote: When I open up a new word document the curser automatically goes to the center of the page.
