MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / March 2008Normal View Display Issue
A customer is having a problem with a Word document when in the Normal View. When the document is opened, the screen appears to "jump" and then a left white space appears to the left of the text along with the scroll bar at the bottom. If you switch to Print Layout view or view the document in Print Preview, it appears as normal. If you print it, it appears as normal. The left and right margins are set to 0.6. Any ideas why this is happening when in Normal View? Is this perhaps the Style Area or Document Map?  SignatureSuzanne S.

No, document map is not being used. Signatureshel > So this *is* the Document Map? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >> > when > >> > in Normal View? What is displayed in the white area you are describing? Do you see any text at all, such as "Normal"? SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > No, document map is not being used. > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> >> > when >> >> > in Normal View? There is nothing in the white space. It is like a large margin on both the left and right side but it only appears while in Normal view. Signatureshel > What is displayed in the white area you are describing?

You will have a white margin to the left if you have indented the text or if you have shifted the view to the left by Shift+clicking on the left arrow on the horizontal scroll bar (but this view will ordinarily not survive a change from Normal to Print Layout view and back). If the horizontal ruler is displayed, you should be able to tell something from where the margin and indent markers are. Is there any division between the text and this white area (a bar of any kind)? Are you sure you're not in Print Layout view with white space hidden? SignatureSuzanne S.

The ruler appears as normal above the text. I have changed back and forth between Normal view and Print Layout view so I know that this is in Normal view. Other documents that I open and switch to Normal view do not appear this way. Signatureshel > You will ordinarily have a large white area to the right in Normal view.

Since the problem occurs in only a single doc, it's possible that looking at it would provide an answer. SignatureSuzanne S.
