Recently when I create a new Word document, the page height is 9".

It used to be normal letter size.

I went into Page Setup and confirmed that the page size is letter - 8.5 X 11.

I made sure that my printer has letter size selected - my default printer.

I delete the normal.dot template in case it was corrupted. Word created a new
template normal.dot and page height is 9"

When I look at the 9" hight doc's page set up, it shows letter with 8.5"X11"
as the size. However visibly looking at the document and rulers - it shows 9"
as where the page ends.

I did not change anything that I am aware of on the computer. This just
happened. I have seen posts elsewhere on the net of this happening but no one
posted a solution.

Please help. Old saved word documents open correctly. Only when createing a
new blank doc do I have this prob.

Thanks!!!!!!
