Using Word 2007. When I first click on Word the blank page comes up with
the cursor in the top center of the page. Why is this, and how can I
make it appear on the left margin to begin a document?

thanks

Probably you have centered alignment applied to the empty paragraph
mark in the Normal.dotm template. With the cursor in that empty
paragraph, right-click and choose Paragraph to open the dialog. Change
the alignment to Left, click the Default button at the bottom of the
dialog, and confirm the change.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for a
couple of other ways to fix it.

Thank you, Jay. That did the trick. I'll certainly miss this newsgroup
once MS moves to forums.

FWIW, Jay and I and many other MVPs are already working the Answers forums.
Although it is not ideal, you can download an NNTP bridge that allows you to
use *some* newsreaders to access the forums. For more, see
https://connect.microsoft.com/Micros...?wa=wsignin1.0. Thunderbird is
one of the targeted clients, and apparently some users are using it
successfully.

I believe Thunderbird is one of the applications with which the NNTP Bridge
does not work so well. It seems fine with Windows Live Mail other that the
HTML formatting issue.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my

That was my impression, but I was basing my statement on this in the
referenced document: "Officially, we intend for the end user to use one of
the following NNTP newsreaders to connect to the Bridge at a time: Outlook
Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, or Forte Agent."
Additionally, I did see a Google Groups thread in which a poster claimed to
be using Thunderbird 3.0 without problems.
