Word 2003 view doesn't show space at document top and bottom
I have Word 2003 and Windows 7. All at once, when I open a new document
(Ctrl+n) or sometimes an old existing one, the view, which is in Print Layout, gets rid of the space at the top and the bottom of the page. I have to "work around" and click ViewHeader and FooterClose. Then it is ok as long as I have the document open. But when I save and close the document and open it again, the same thing happens - the space is gone from the top and bottom. I don't know the correct terminology to describe this, but I hope you can understand. How does this happen, and how can I stop it from happening from now on? I hate, hate, hate it when things like this happen suddenly, and the help menu is of no help. |

Word 2003 view doesn't show space at document top and bottom
You've discovered "Hide White Space." Put the cursor exactly between
two pages (it turns into a waffle iron) and click. (Or double-click? It changed in Word2007.) And open your normal.dot template (not by clicking on it -- that just gives you a new document) and do the same thing there, and (just in case) type something and delete it so Word knows to Save the changed template.

Word 2003 view doesn't show space at document top and bottom
Thanks, Peter. For whatever reason, I didn't have to go to normal.dot. After
the click, everything seemed to work. I closed out of Word and opened it again and everything is fine. I don't know how the white space got hidden. I guess my fingers are faster than my mind.

The same way -- you happened to click exactly between two pages.
