[SOLVED] Weird Word Wammy

yustr · 06-20-2007, 01:41 PM

When I open a new doc in MS Word 2003 in print view (my preferred way to work), the cursor is all the way at the top of the page - I mean all the way. No margin at all. If I View>Header/Footer>Close the header/footer dialog box closes and the cursor jumps to where it should be.

I've tried looking in Page Setup and Options>View but I don't see a setting that looks out of line...help, please.

thanks, yustr

Hi Robert

One thing that springs to mind is you've somehow removed the white space between pages. This will effectively remove your margins and make it look like you've started typing at the topmost edge of the page.

Thanks Iain, that fixed it. But in typical MS fashion it was checked in Options, so for it to take effect, I had to uncheck it, close Word, then open Word and check it. Then close Word and open a new blank doc.
