When opening any word document it refuses to center the page. Continually the
document appears on the left hand side of my screen. the horizontal ruler
does not stretch across the length of my screen either, choosing instead to
remain on the left hand side only. A two page booklet had recently been made
on this computer, however I have checked all of the settings and defaulted
everything but the problem persists, it is driving me crazy!

Sounds like you are in "Normal View" and you want to be in "Print Layout
View". Select View Print Layout from the Menu to change it.

On the Zoom menu, change Two Pages to Page Width, Text, Width, Whole Page,
or some percentage.
