Word Document View
Normally when I set up an document in word and I adjust the margins, I am
able to see the page layout as it will be printed. Now when I set up a Word document, and I set up the top and bottom margins, no matter what I set them to, it appears on the screen with no top and bottom margins. It just 'shrinks the page'. (If the paper size is 8x10 and I change the top and bottom margins to 1.5 inches, for a total of 3 inches, the paper appears to be 8x7, the 'margin space' disappears.) When I adjust the left and right margins, the margins show in relation to the document, that is, the document still appears to be 8 inches wide, but a 1 inch margin shows on the left and right of the document. did I somehow damage my normal.dot? If so, how do I get it back? How can I fix this? Thanks |

You didn't mention your View settings, so I'm not sure what you've tried and
haven't tried. However, some things to check... what View do you typically use? Choose View (menu) and see what the setting is? Is it possible that you typically use View - Print Layout, and have set it to View - Normal or View - Web Layout? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "JEM" wrote in message ...

I should add that this only happend in one of the users IDs in XP, the
outher user's documents show the document format properly. And it's office XP with SP3.... "JEM" wrote in message ...

Click on Tools | Options | View | check the "White space between pages"
box | OK. JEM wrote: Normally when I set up an document in word and I adjust the margins, I am able to see the page layout as it will be printed.
