Excel Margins

Anonymous

I have a document that I created quite a while ago and last week the margins all of a sudden became wider and has messed everything up. when I try to fix the margins excel is not letting me utilize the full page. My header is also now halfway between my top row on the page. how can I correct this. I guess to best explain on column A for example I have the document on minimum margins. when I click on column A it shows me the ruler where my margins start and end. Instead of the margin starting at 0 cm it starts at 0.5 cm and adds the 0.6 cm from there. the same is on the other side of the page the margin doesn't start at the edge of the page. this problem is causing me to lose 1 cm of space of centering. and probably the same for top to bottom as well.

    Have you changed your printer, or updated the printer driver?

    1. Sometimes, add-ins can cause problems. To determine, if add-in is a problem start your application in safe mode and see if problem has gone away.

    To start in Safe Mode -

    Hold CTRL key and click on application icon and don't release the CTRL key till it asks you for Safe mode confirmation.

    If yes, then start application normally and disable add-ins one by one and start application again every time you disable an add-in to determine the culprit add-in.

    To disable add-in > File > Options > Add-ins > Down below you have Manage: Com Add-in : Press Go > Untick the Add-ins to disable and tick to enable them

    1. Try repairing your office installation (Quick repair is good enough). Try repairing your Office installation. First try Quick Repair (takes 5 - 10 mins) , if that doesn't help then try Online Repair (Takes more than 30 mins but less than 1 hour in general)
