jpcummins Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 In Microsoft Word 2003, when I select New Blank Document I should see a New Blank Document with the margins Top 1", Bottom 1", Left 1", Right 1". However the New Blank Document I see does not have a top or bottom margin. I cannot correct this by selecting Page Setup because the margins already reflect the above. I imagine the New Blank Document Template has become corrupted. If I am correct in my assumption I do not know what to do to correct it. Hopefully, one of our members know how to correct this and will tell me what I need to do. While I have the original disks to reinstall Microsoft Office 2003 I would prefer to reinstall only as a last resort. As always I will appreciate all replies and would thank you in advance.

jpcummins Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Will dig a little more when I have the time, I have a work around that I can use instead of the blank document. Microsoft Office 2003 is so old it is hard to find help but for no more than I use it I can't justify purchasing the latest. Thanks for the reply.

jpcummins Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Iconoclast I have resolved my blank document top and bottom margin not appearing. Open Microsoft Word, Tools> Options> choose the View Tab, under Print and Web Layout options be sure White space between pages (Print view only) is checked. Should anyone be experiencing the same problem I recommend them trying this solution it worked for me, but I still have no idea how it ever was changed in the first place.
