Re: Can't save to normal.dot

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

In Word 2007, they have made it more difficult to accidentally toggle the HideWhiteSpace feature by making it a double-click action.

Thanks, you solved my problem. I was showing the top area by clicking on
header/footer, then saving the doc to normal. It wasn't saving. Your fix
solved my problem. Meanwhile, I reinstalled Word from scratch, then restored
from a backup. Your fix solved everything in two seconds. Go figure!

You have accidentally toggled on the HideWhiteSpace feature. Move the cursor
slowly over the gap between pages until the pointer changes to opposing
arrows (and if screen tips are enabled you see a pop up 'Show White Space').
Double-click to toggle the feature and your margins will reappear.
