text wrapping before my right margin
in [Page Layout]
|
From: dafodill02 on 25 May 2010 03:11 When I open a new document in Word 2003, my text will wrap 1/2 inch before my right margin (i.e. at 6 inches instead of 6.5 inches). My margins are set at 1" L & R and there is no indent set. The only way I've found around this is to either set it for 1 column of 6.5 inch width, or to set my right margin at 0.5 inches so the text will wrap at 6.5 inches. Any idea how to fix this so my text will wrap at the correct margin when I start a new document? Thanks!

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 25 May 2010 08:06 As Stefan suggests, the fact that opening the Columns dialog and clicking on the Preset picture for One corrects the wrapping suggests that the Normal template has somehow acquired an incorrect column width setting; unfortunately, the only way to correct this is to open Normal.dot directly and correct it. -- Suzanne S.

From: Stefan Blom on 25 May 2010 09:18 Well, although that's what I was thinking, I didn't actually suggest it. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 25 May 2010 09:24 You implied it, I guess. When I first read your post, I thought it was completely out in left field, but then I reread the OP, caught the part about setting column width, and divined why you had suggested the article. -- Suzanne S.
