Problem with my Word.....
Many Thanks Mattias 12/7/2008 11:22:01 AM
I cant start writing at the left top of the "paper" as I normaly does.

The marker is in the middle left of the "paper" and goes from there.
I have uninstalled my Office and reinstalled it again with no luck.
The problem is still there.

I´m not good at explaining in English (I´m from Sweden) so I hope the video
will show what I try to explain here.

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, change the vertical alignment from Center
to Top.

Hi Mattias,

Your Normal.dotm template, which is the base for new documents, has a vertical
alignment setting of "Center". That is the cause of the problem. Here are the
steps to fix it:

Double-click in the vertical ruler at the very left edge of the screen. That
opens the Page Setup dialog. In the dialog, click the Layout tab. In the middle
of the tab is the vertical alignment setting. Change it from "Center" to "Top".
Then click the Default button in the bottom left corner of the dialog, which
applies the setting to the Normal.dotm template.
