Can you help?
My word document has just flipped and the page looks squashed and margins
are not visible. All new documents are the same and I can't put it back to as
it was.
Help!

In Word, if you are working in Normal view, then switch to Print Layout
view. Then click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the "White space
between pages" box | OK.

Thanks a lot - this works well.
Also on digging futher another contributor (I'm afraid I can't remember his
name) suggested looking at http://www.gmayor.com/white_space.htm which shows
graphically exactly how it happens in the first place - really useful!!
Thanks again

Similar information is also provided at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm. The fact that Graham and
I both independently wrote articles about this at about the same time just
suggests how widespread and universally puzzling the problem is (we'd
replied to a *lot* of posts about it). I understand that the problem has
been alleviated in Word 2007 (on the recommendation of the Word MVPs, I
might add) by requiring Ctrl+click to Show/Hide White Space.
