Delboy, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I.T. put a new computer in my office with a new monitor. I want to be able to SEE one page that looks like an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper both when I am composing messages as well as reading messages that are sent to me. I just want it to look like ONE sheet of paper on a blue background. Instead, if I zoom to 100%, it opens 2 pages. I have tried to zoom first, then set one page view, as well as the reverse. It is so annoying I do not know what to do. There has to be a way of using Word to view and compose as if it were simply one page!
