Proble with MS Word 2003 Margins

B

BIGEYE

When I start a new document, the cursor positions itself right at the top
edge of the page. My margins are set correctly top & bottom 2.54cm, page
size to letter.
This has just started happening, no problems before this.
Any suggestions on how to get the cursor to start where it should.
TIA

Click to expand...

Could be you've accidentally clicked when the mouse pointer was just
above or below the page and got into "hide white space" mode. Another
click in the same place will restore to "show white space" mode.

i had the same problem a while ago.
it drove me crazy <crazy look>

i fixed it thus:
Tools, options, view
print and web layout options
check "text boundaries"

this fixed the margin problem, and then i could go and uncheck that setting.

good grief
i had this problem for weeks, and i asked in every word newsgroup i
could find, never got a fix!
but this is the answer, thank you so much!
i eventually fixed it with the "text boundaries" setting in options, but
your fix explains why it happened in the first place!
brilliant.
again, thanks from me!

Thanks so much! I've been stressing about this for weeks, also! Have tried
removing Word and re-installing and still the same thing. Whodathunk it was
so simple??? You rock!
