Hi,

I'm running Microsoft Office XP on win7 64bit and can't seem to find a way to view only one page in a Word document. If I download or write more than one page they come up in two page side by side format on the screen. Is there a way to set one page at a time viewing as default?

Guys, there is a VERY easy fix for Office XP / 2003 users:

Make your MS Word window fullscreen

Now it might display 2 pages side by side (depending on your screen resolution)

To get back to a single page while using the PRINT LAYOUT view, follow below:

Click on VIEW -> choose WEB LAYOUT -> Click VIEW again -> now go back to PRINT LAYOUT

The problem should be solved, if it occurs again in the future, just follow these quick steps

Good luck

    Thanks Graham but I'm a complete novice with computer fiddling and don't know the difference between a macros  and a nachos! I was just seeking an easy, (for me), workaround for what i thought would be a one click solution.

    Why do we need to have a degree in Computer Science or be professional code writers to use a program we paid hundreds of dollars for?  I'm a psychology professor, not a computer scientist.  I don't have time to go cutting and pasting code into the software I purchase.  I just expect it to WORK.

    It does work - just not in the way that you want. That's why Microsoft provides the facility to personalise
