corrupted word preferences?

[Robert Stanley]

Without any warning, the preferences for Word 2003 got goofy today. I use
Word as my Outlook 2003 editor, and when I'm in edit mode (creating a new
email or replying to an old one), the fonts look goofy. When I open a new
document in Word in page view mode (my preferred way), there is no header.

It seems that something in a preference got corrupted. I've tried deleting
the Normal.dot file and also doing the "detect and repair" option, but I'm
still having the same problem.

Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

I got it fixed. Somehow, in zoom, magnification got changed to 110%. Once I
changed it back to 100%, all is good. The "show white" at the top of a Word
document went away too, and this simply needed to be reset. Goofy that this
all happened at once.
