Being a notorious poor speller myself I am going to suggest that you
investigate the spell check feature and perhaps experiment with the shift
key. Mastery of both will go a long way in making your questions easier to
read.

What, if anything, did you see in that gray space?
Did you try clicking the "Document Map" button on the toolbar (just
left of the paragraph-mark button)?
Or the "Styles Pane," which I find no earthly use for, but you can get
from the View menu IIRC?

my ability (I still believe the answer is contained in the link I posted)
and then offerring a suggestion that correct spelling or a little more care
in preparing the question might make it easier to answer. Please don't give
me the line of horse#$%* that not everyone speaks English as a native
language and may not be able to do any better. There are support formums in
other languages as well.
I suppose you feel you must take a jab at an MVP when the opportunity
arises. Have a nice day.

into some other view--Normal or possibly Web Layout. On the View menu,
choose Print Layout and see if that restores what you usually see.

There is nothing wrong with my day. I just don't care for someone come out
firing guns at me without cause.
I tried to answer the girls question by directing her to Graham's page on
white space.
Apparently Grammatim didn't see the link. That isn't my fault. Instead he
decided to declare himself the courtesy police.

OP's query was about a "2 cm grey space around the side of the
screen," which has nothing to do with the White Space command.
Never before have I seen MVPs making remarks about people's spelling
or punctuation, but that he reacted so testily suggests that he has
been called on this before.

was more to my original reply than a complaint about the girls spelling.
Perhaps it was an incorrect response but it certainly wasn't a complaint and
you certainly had no business lecturing me about courtesy here or anywhere
else.

punctuation, just stick around. There are several who from time to time get
impatient with people "texting" their questions (often in the subject line
rather than the message body), and, as Greg suggested, it's not always a
result of unfamiliarity with the language--just plain laziness or
slovenliness. If I'm short of time I won't even bother trying to decipher
questions that appear to be all one long phrase (no punctuation or
capitalization), though in fairness these often do appear to have been
posted by speakers of Asian languages that don't have such refinements.

Don't know what's wrong with grammatim.

True. I'm generally blind to links in messages, especially with no
text around them like "this essay may be helpful," because messages
are full of useless links such as the one that's the label for the
message being responded to, or the one to a poster's homepage, etc.
> Perhaps it was an incorrect response but it certainly wasn't a complaint and
I didn't say it was a complaint. I said it was discourteous.
Unleashing sarcasm isn't rude?

I would have found it offensive if you had addressed it to me, and you
addressed it to a teenage girl, perhaps in England, perhaps in Japan.

you have the issue resolved?
To summarize the suggestions offered:
- Verify the issue isn't due to suppressed white space. If what you are
missing is the top margin and visual of "gray space" isn't present at the
top: Go to Tools/Options/View and make sure "White space between pages" is
selected.
- Verify you are using Page Layout view. If you aren't seeing any "gray
space" around the entire document: on the View menu, choose Print Layout.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.

If you are in Print Layout view (View=>Print Layout), what is the View=>Zoom setting you have? If it's set to 'page width' that can
push the 'page' to the edges of the screen.
If you've changed your Windows desktop appearance/screen settings it's possible that something there or in the Windows accessibility
settings would change the color you saw as grey.

This post and its responses were entertaining if nothing else. Thank you
Ms. Barnhill for suggesting the print layout view, as that's what I thought
of first. It could very well be the cause.
revivalgurl: Don't be intimidated. Peoples frustrations are often
misplaced, so don't take it too personally. Hope you find a soluton to your
problem.
