Cursor middle of document
When I open a new document in Word 2007 the cursor is always in the middle
of the page. I start typing and the text goes up to the top of the page. How do I make the cursor to appear at the top of the page in new document? The advice on the internet is Go to File Page Setup Layout (in Word 2007, ) and change the Vertical Alignment from Center to Top. But in my case all these icon are greyed out. Can anybody help please. |

The advice you quoted is correct only up to Word 2003. For Word 2007, click
the Page Layout tab at the top of the ribbon. Then click the tiny arrow button at the bottom right corner of the Page Setup group. (If that's too hard to see, click the Margins button and choose Custom Margins from the bottom of the dropdown.) In the Page Setup dialog, click the Layout tab and change the Vertical Alignment from Center to Top. -- 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.

Exit Word and then locate and rename the normal.dotm file. When you restart
Word, a fresh copy with factory default settings will be recreated. To find normal.dotm, you can search in Windows (press Windows key + F); be sure to search hidden files and folders. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Roy" wrote in message ...
