how do I restore the original margins on my word doc template?
I suspect you have either comments or tracked changes in your documents or
templates, and Word is shrinking the page to allow space on the right side for balloons to show those items. This may happen even when there are no visible changes or balloons if the file contents are corrupted. Turn off Track Changes if it's turned on (Tools Track Changes). Display the Reviewing toolbar, click the down arrow next to the Reject Changes button, and select Reject All Changes in Document. Also click the arrow again and choose Delete All Comments in Document. Finally, go to Tools Options Track Changes and set the Use Balloons dropdown to Never. -- 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.

All of my new Word documents, that are set at "letter" size in page set up, are loading with the ruler showing a print area of 6" x 8". The ruler allows for a one inch margin on either side, but the size of the page is wrong. My documents are printing to the upper left hand size of the page - and it doesn't matter if I'm on my home computer station or my laptop. If I could only fix the ruler??? In fact, the files I transferred from my laptop seem to have "infected" my home station. I am very alarmed - and it's impossible to manage my business when I am unable to work with or print a file correctly. This seems to be a bug. Any help out there? I've tried reset points. I've combed through every formatting option.

Also, when I open a created word doc file with shipping labels, I merge the date and when I print, the information no longer lines up as before. Thank you, Buz Swyers Shut down Word. Find the Normal.dot template (or Normal.dotm in Word 2007), probably in the folder %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates (type this path into the address box of Windows Explorer). Rename that file to Normal.old. Restart Word, which will create a new template from its internal default settings. If you had customizations in the old template that you want to keep, use the Organizer to copy them to the new one. -- 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. |
