I am using Word 2007 and have just replaced my older 21.5 widescreen monitor with a new 23” higher resolution monitor. Once I did this, I discovered that apparently because of the larger monitor, Word now displays pages in the “Two Page” format, i.e. side by side instead of the “One Page” format that I had been using previously in Word and which is the setting in which I prefer to work.

I found that if I set my new display to a lower resolution, it would resolve the problem albeit at a lower resolution. I find that solution unacceptable. After buying a newer, higher resolution monitor, one shouldn’t have to then set it back to the lower resolution of the old monitor simply to be able to use Word 2007.

I also discovered that if I zoom the document to 120%, I can get the document to display in the single page format however it is a larger than I prefer to work with. Likewise, if the zoom is set to 80% the document will also display in the single page format. In this case however, the document is TOO SMALL for me to work with. As soon as I return the zoom to 100% format, the display goes back to two pages.

So far, I have used MS Fixit program to reset the options in Word but that failed to resolve the situation. I also deleted NORMAL.DOT and let the system create a new one. That also failed to resolve the problem.

I am now hearing that the only way I may be able to resolve this situation is to upgrade to Word 2010. Since MSoffice had been working fine for my needs prior to this problem, I don’t feel that I should have to pay to upgrade simply to resolve this one issue.

Can anyone provide me with a solution to this problem other than having to upgrade to Word 2010? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
