WORD DOCUMENT MISSING MARGINS HOW TO
Then, not knowing what you've done, it's unclear how to get the white space back.

So if you have elected to display the ruler, then it. The ruler visibility setting should then remain the same once you close Microsoft Word. Step 3: Check the box to the left of Ruler in the Show section of the navigational ribbon at the top of the window. It's easy to hide the white space by clicking on the top or bottom page border without even knowing it. Step 2: Click the View tab at the top of the window.

If you click on the mouse when the pointer is in this condition, Word toggles the display of the top and bottom white space. If you move the mouse pointer to the top or bottom border of the on-screen page representation, you'll notice that it changes to a small icon that has two arrows facing each other vertically. The problem is, it is easy to turn this feature on without even knowing it.

The default margins for Microsoft Word from version 2007 onward have been 1 inch (25.4 mm) all around. Rodney is wondering why this is happening. The "pages" of paper shown on-screen in Print Layout view show no top and bottom margin at all. Rodney notes that when he opens a new document in Word the on-screen display of the pages shows the correct left and right margins, but not the correct top and bottom margins.
