239955 2004-05-28 01:23:00 ploughing along nicely since getting this word prog, and yesterday i found i have done something so i do not see the overall page veiw like i have been?

i have tried fiddling around checking out settings etc.... but view is still set at Normal and it does not have page ruler ??? or whatever it was down the side...

what may i have inadvertantly clicked on????

and im also stuck with multiple back ups of all my assignments, but they dont put them in the folder i made for back ups.... can some one jog my memory where to untick make a back up copy???

239960 2004-05-28 01:44:00 Can you post a screenie of an existing document without the settings you want, and another screenie of how you want it to look? It's a bit hard to figure out what you have lost.

As for the backups, I'm not sure whether you are talking about automatic backups or ones you have made but go to Tools>Options>File Locations and modify the path where you want your files to go for Documents.

239961 2004-05-28 01:52:00 well the screen may take more effort than i have at mo, will get back to you on that one.


the back ups....seem to be the auto do it itself thing..... remember i said something to you ages ago about it and couldnt find the untick option.... so its now unticked thanxs to goddie, but still got lots of back up of assignments littering my lists now....

is this what you are looking for
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.


Select the Vertical Ruler check box.


Select or clear the Right Ruler check box.
Note You must be in print layout view in order to select or clear the Vertical Ruler and Right Ruler check boxes.
