Hello Macropod/Paul Edstein,

Many thanks for that answer. I have been using Word for such a long time and this never happened before, so I thought that I had tried everything to correct the effect. Obviously I was incorrect!

I have learned now about the zoom at the bottom of the window - I have also 'found' the zoom under the View tab.

You have solved my problem - so easy when you know how!

All is now 'well with Word' (I wish it was so with the World!)

I shall try to find how to have 'solved' added to this thread.

Regards,

Colinito
