I am using Word 2003. I prefer to use word in print
layout mode so I can adjust my vertical as well as
horizontal margins. All of a sudden 2 things have
happened. 1. The vertical ruler fills up the whole
space allotted and the cursor is at the top of the page.
I cannot adjust the vertical ruler at all. However, in
print preview mode the page shows correctly. When I open
a document I created before the problem, it opens in
another launch of Word and looks and works correctly.
2. Why all of a sudden when I open more than one
document does word relaunch? If I open a document that I
created before the vertical ruler problem, and then try
to open a new document from there, another instance of
word launches with the frozen vertical ruler.
How do you switch from opening a new window in the same
launch of word and opening more than one launch of the
program. On occasion, I would like to be able to view
two documents concurrently and having the program
launched twice would be useful. Please help.

Thanks,
Jan
