Side-by-Side Pages
For some reason, Word 2003 has just started displaying pages side-by-side. The
problem is NOT the reading mode. Here is a post by another person who had exactly the same problem, but no one posted a solution: Whenever I open/start a document in my Word 2003 it appears in a view that is side-by-side. I have looked into this problem and it is not a print preview issue, it is not a view issue (i am using print view), it is not some kind of reading layout problem. Odd pages appear on the left, even on the right and it is frustrating to scroll through them and have it move left and right. As a weird side-note, if i open any kind of side panel, such as dictionary/thesaurus or help panel and the like, it reverts back to single page viewing, but as soon as I close this panel it returns to two page (yes I realize that i could just leave a panel open at all time, but i want a solution not a temporary fix). Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Side-by-Side Pages
The short and easy answer is that you need to go to View | Zoom and select
some Zoom ratio other than Two Pages (starting, perhaps, with Whole Page or Page Width or Text Width). Sadly, this may not help if you want 100%; apparently on some wide screens Word helpfully decides that if two pages will fit at a given Zoom ratio you must surely want to see two pages. From responses here, I gather that changing the Zoom by as little as 1% can kick it back into line. I've had the opposite problem in Print Preview--where, when I select Two Pages, I get only one; if I decrease the zoom, I get four. sigh -- Suzanne S.
