word 2002
I have a problem with my work computer - XP, Word 2002 I did something the other day that hasn't corrected itself after I reboot. My mouse slipped (literally) and I didn't knowingly select any option to do this, but I want to undo whatever it is. If I copy/past into a new document, the problem is replicated. In fact, new docs are the same now. I have my View set at Normal, but the top and bottom margins are not visible on screen. Instead, the bottom margin "flows" into the following page and the first page is truncated according to the amount of print on it. Needless to say, it's very annoying because I can't get a feel for what the page looks like unless I go into "preview" mode. This is giving me more gray hair and I don't have a hairdresser's appointment in the near future, so I need help. LOL! What did I do and how can I undo it? PLEASE don't send me to a URL. Just tell me what to do - preferably in simple terms. I know it's easy, otherwise it wouldn't have happened. BTW: I noticed that I have icons for all of the different view choices in the lower left corner if that gives you any clue as to what I did. TIA TIA |

Tools - options - view tab - remove the check next to White space between
pages. You can also do it in your regular view, move the cursor just under the ruler and it will change into a double arrow click and the white space will appear or disappear. On the border between two pages you can do the same, put your mouse over the thick line between two pages and click. Luc "sf" schreef in bericht ...

Thanks Suzanne - Problem solved! I didn't want a URL because they are
usually not written for dummies, but this one was very "user friendly" AND explained the most common situation that causes the problem in the first place. sf ``````````` Suzanne S.

I once left one of my unused e-mail addresses unchecked for a month whilst
on holiday - it took all afternoon on broadband to clear 6500+ spam messages -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org sf wrote: On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 08:05:03 -0000, "Graham Mayor" wrote: It probably wasn't a good idea to post your e-mail address to a newsgroup - unless you like spam See this link - http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm I posted from google (which I don't do very often) and wasn't aware it was going to give my address out to the world.

This is when a Web portal to your email is handy: go see what's on the
server, select and delete all the spam (which is often everything), and then download the actual mail. -- Suzanne S.

Not sure how to keep my gmail address from showing. I've subscribed to
the group via google groups and selected a nickname, but apparently it's not working the way they claim. from Help: Is my email address visible on the web when I post to a group? When your message is posted to a group, Google Groups masks your email address on the web to prevent automated computer programs from harvesting it for spamming purposes. If, however, you send out your post via email or to Usenet, your email address will be visible to anyone who receives it. I have absolutely NO idea what that last sentence means. So if anyone has a clue, clue me in please! sf |

I think that's rather disingenuous, since a post via Google *is* to Usenet,
and those of us using newsreaders will see your address if we answer your post (as below). -- Suzanne S.

The link I posted earlier explains how to mask your e-mail address from
Usenet (Usenet is the system of newsgroups that forms the backbone of this system of messaging). In e-mail your displayed e-mail address is set in the e-mail account of your e-mail software. As for Google - their help says - "We require a valid email address to post to Google Groups. If you don't want your normal email address to be listed, we encourage you to sign up for an anonymous account with one of the many free email services available on the web and to post from that account.

Thanks for the information, but it was pointed at how to use a real newsreader, not the Google interface which I posted from in that particular case. I went back and subscribed to the ng, so now the address isn't my posting name, but the address still appears in any reply. In any case, I consider Google my "throw away" web address - I have other providers that I use for everyday email purposes. If you don't want your normal email address to be listed, we encourage you to sign up for an anonymous account with one of the many free email services available on the web and to post from that account. " I have absolutely no idea what an "anonymous account" is... unless it means you use a fake name. |
