hide white space AdminDee 21.09.2006 17:12:02 Every document I open is hiding white space even if I save it with white space showing. Even if I save a document with white space showing and then re-open it the hide white space option is turned on again. How do I keep this from happening?

RE: hide white space Dallas64 21.09.2006 17:18:02 I plagiarizedthis from the Help Menu. This is a toggle switch, so you can select it and the white space will come back: "You can hide white space by default by clicking Options on the Tools menu and clearing the White space between pages check box on the View tab.

RE: hide white space AdminDee 21.09.2006 18:03:02 Yes, and this is my problem. I make sure to clear the hide white space option on the view tab and then save my document. When I re-open the document the hide white space has checked itself and the white space is hidden again. "Dallas64" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I plagiarizedthis from the Help Menu.

RE: hide white space Dallas64 21.09.2006 19:07:02 My second crack at it: this may be a Normal.dot template problem. 1. I don't know whether this is necessary, but I close all open documents before I mess with the Normal.dot. 2. Open Normal.dot. When you select open, you will have to change the file type from 'Word Document (*.doc)' to 'Document Templates (*.dot).' If you are not sure where your Normal.dot template is, close the "Open File" dialog box. Go to Tools, Options, File Locations. The location for User Templates is what you are looking for. I forget the default location, because I changed mine so that it would be in a location that backs up every night on our system. Once you know that, go back to the open dialog box and open Normal.dot. 3. Once you have opened Normal.dot, then go to the Tools, Options, View and deselect the white space as you have tried before. Then save and close. 4. Open your other document again. You will probably have to change the file type in the "Open File" dialog box back to Word Document (*.doc) for word to locate your documents. If that doesn't work, then this is a problem beyond me. . . "AdminDee" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Yes, and this is my problem.

Re: hide white space AdminDee 21.09.2006 22:13:02 I had already read this article and it did not help. Dallas64 - THANKS for your help. I don't know why it worked but it did! When I opened my normal.dot the option I wanted was already selected but I saved it anyway and when I open the otehr files now it opens correctly. Much appreciated! "Suzanne S.
