Members Bass8987 Posted September 21, 2007 Members Posted September 21, 2007 When I open up Microsoft word, it looks like this. How do I make it so the part I circled red, opens up automatically like that? Like this below. I know this is an incredibly stupid question and you all think I am an idiot now (if you haven't thought so already), but when it comes to computers and technology I am extremely stupid.
Members Bluescout Posted September 21, 2007 Members Posted September 21, 2007 I believe you open it up, set it how you like it, click FILE, select SAVE AS. In the SAVE AS TYPE box at the bottom of the SAVEAS window, select DOCUMENT TEMPLATE. Select NORMAL (not ~$Normal) and click SAVE. Every doc after that will be as you like.
Members Zamfir Posted September 21, 2007 Members Posted September 21, 2007 Mine opens up with ruler spaced as you have it in the second window. Are your margins set the way you want? Go check File -> Page Setup -> and see what the Top margin is set at. I have mine set at 1".
Members Bass8987 Posted September 21, 2007 Author Members Posted September 21, 2007 When I go to Print Preview, it shows the 1'' margins, but when I am typing it doesn't show the blue margin at all and still whenever I open a new document it opens like in the first pic
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted September 21, 2007 Members Posted September 21, 2007 Odd...I'll have to play around and see if I can't figure that out...(stupid Microsoft Mouse certification classes...makes me HAVE to figure things out so I can keep up and not feel so stupid)
Members sarabella Posted September 21, 2007 Members Posted September 21, 2007 If you put your cursor in the part that I have circled below, it will change to a couple of boxes with arrows and say "Show white space". Click there and you can change it back to how you want it.
Members la_brat1 Posted September 21, 2007 Members Posted September 21, 2007 Pet peeve of mine with the new office... 1) go to 'view' tab 2) show/hide "ruler" should be checked Once you hit that it should come up as you like it every time you exit/open Word... word.
Members Bass8987 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Members Posted September 24, 2007 I got it to open like in the second pic. I was just clicking stuff randomly and some how I got it to show up. Then I saved it as the Normal in Document Template as Bluescout said and it works. Thank you
