I am unable to see margins on a Microsoft word 2007 document. I can only see a blue backround. How do you view margins??? Help appreciated.
.1. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Margins.
2. Click the margin type that you want. For the most common margin width, click Normal.
3. When you click the margin type that you want, your entire document automatically changes to the margin type that you have selected.
4. You can also specify your own margin settings. Click Margins, click Custom Margins, and then in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes, enter new values for the margins
- Directly from help...
Then my instructions are what you want, although the other response was equally relevant to your original post.

Am assuming you don't have Vista...
When you have a word doc open, go to the view menu and in the drop down menu from there, go to the page layout option (there will also be normal/online layout and other such options). When you do that, the margins will appear at the top and side of the doc and you can move them by dragging them whichever way you want.
Am using MS word for Mac, but from using all manner of different versions previously, I believe this menu is the same. Let me know if this doesn't work and, if it doesn't, let me know what options you have under the "View" menu.

That just shows the ruler (I think). The method I mention above gives you the text boundaries.
who got the kudos? Me or europhile?
P.s. just saw last response - overlap with europhile!
Yeah, I've got Vista too, television. You'll find a lot of the Options when you click that Office button on the top left and go into Word Options. I don't think that many of them are accessible through the regular toolbars. 2007 is very different from previous versions - as you've discovered.
