A 16 year old acquantance has Office2002 installed.
The word display has no left ruler and the top ruler has no figures
displayed.
The typing area is bounded by what can best be described as outwards facing
tab marks but twice the size. That is the top left one has a 'left tab'
whilst the top right is similar to the 'right tab'.
He would like to get the screen back to a standard layout and to date we
have deleted the normal.dot done a complete reinstall after a removal using
add/remove followed by a registry purge priot to the reinstall.
I can not reproduce what he has but I do have a screenshot available if
required.
