Split screen problem.
My Word 2003 has suddenly started opening all documents (whether new or
existing) with a split screen. Unless something accidentally bumped keys on the keyboard, nothing was done to make the change. When it opens a document now, the left hand split has a full page view and the right hand split has the normal view. The only way I can remove it is to click on Window/Remove Split. I've checked everywhere I can think of and I can't get rid of it permanently. It disappears and the next time I open a document, it reappears. Has anybody come across this before and found out how to fix it? |

Split screen problem.
It sounds like the View Thumbnails setting has been saved in your
Normal.dot template. This isn't necessarily anything you caused directly; see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ocNotBlank.htm for an explanation of sorts. To remove it, open the Normal.dot template directly, as described in that article. Click the View Thumbnails menu item to turn it off (or Window Remove Split, as you're already doing). Type a space character and then backspace; this makes Word think the template needs to be saved. Save it and close it. The problem should be gone. -- 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.
