Just been doing some stuff on Word, fine saved the file no problem.

Opened another Doc, and the Page Layout is all over the place, missing paragraphs, paragraphs in the wrong place, font doesn't look right, Tabs and margins all wrong, if I switch to Normal view, looks fine, but guessing thats just a HTML viewer switch back to Print or Zoom or Page width view, all over the place again.

Open some similar Docs from a few years back, same deal, so thinking, hang on, not all my docs can have become corrupted, so starting to wonder if Ive hit a change something in error?

Any thoughts.

Possibility that the default template has been corrupted/over-written.
Can't remember how it's done - seem to remember that I selected "save as", but saved as .dot template instead of .doc when I did it.

Thanks, thinking something similar, will have a look, but I though each Template was saved with each doc.

[bigegg]

not sure?
Possibly the option of using default, or having one saved with each .doc, and it's swapped from one to the other?

Check the other outlines, as some of those can make it look "different"

Checked Outlines, I think, looks the same, all over the place, only looks ok in Normal view.

Just emailed a doc over to a friend, she says looks normal to me, so at least I know my saved docs are all ok. 

Done a reboot just in case, done a Restore roll back to last week, same. I can correct the layout by using backspace and re tab, but when I save it, re open looks worse.

just converted one of doc to PDF, looks pretty much as it should do, so thinking it must be the way Im currently viewing the doc wrongly, somehow,
