Need help with a Word doc.

Hoping someone knows how to fix this because it is extremely irritating and I still have 10 pages to go...

When I press my tab key in a microsoft word 2007 doc. for a new paragraph, the cursor that blinks where your text will begin goes all the way to the center of the document.

Any way to fix this? I have no idea what I did.

 

lol, you sound like me. i don't know how to fix shit like that on there, i always call my sister who's great with that haha. . . . oh and here's an idea, get off TW and focus on your paper!!

 

Try hitting Shift+tab and see if it moves it back over to the correct position. Also, if you're in like a double-space format or something you might have accidentally formatted the indentation wrong, I think it's under "paragraph..." but I can't remember which menu. It's been awhile.

 

lol I am normally good with this stuff but this has me . I was off tw! I got on here for help!

Thanks I will try that. I am in double space format also.

edit. nope... didn't work. I have my spacing under paragraph as 0 pt before and 10pt after. Indentations are both at 0"

 

I think the paperclip guy is trying to screw with you.

 

sounds like you moved one of the "tab-stops." check up in the horizontal ruler above the page and you should see a little black arrow in the middle of the page. click and drag this back to where you want the paragraph tab to start (typically .5" indented from your margin).

hope this helps!

 

GOT IT! THANK YOU!

 

awesome! good to see my journalism degree isn't going to waste!

 

Ever since I upgraded to the newer Office software, I have been completely lost with it. Glad someone knew what to do!
