onewhen I open one document in normal view, it is on the left of the screen. How can I position it in the center of the screen? In Print Layout view it is in the center. |

There is no option for changing the alignment of a document in Normal view, but here are a few things you can do to move it to the right:
1. Set a positive "Style area width" (Tools | Options | View).
2. Display the Document Map.
3. Display Thumbnails (if available in your version).
Thumbnails and Document map are mutually exclusive, but either can be combined with the style area. Moreover, both are panes of adjustable width, so you can make them as wide as you like.
If this is Word 2003, you have another option. In Print Layout view, hide the white space between pages (see LINK). This will give you the same continuous view of the document that you get in Normal view, but it will be centered and will also be more WYSIWYG.

Thank you;My version is 2002, so thumbnails is not available, but your other steps have allowed me to re-align the document successfully.
