Frustrating Margin/Ruler Problem

Question

Hey guys, 

I am frustrated because I somehow messed up my setting and CAN NOT reset it to default. I have deinstalled office and reinstalled it too and nothing changes anything. 

I have these weird bars in my ruler and they prevent me from typing across the whole page and just hide the text instead. 

I have reset the margin settings, deleted the files that were supposed to keep information and are hidden in Mac's deepest library settings, and even reinstalled Microsoft Word. I don't know who to get rid of this annoying problem!!

Answer 1

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for reaching out.

I'm Emmie Lou, an independent advisor who is happy to help you in solving your problem.

As I can see on your screenshot, your page has two columns that's why you encounter a problem in encoding. You may check the column under the layout tab and select only one column.

I hope this helps. Just feel free to let me know if you need further assistance after you try the suggestion.

Best Regards,
Emmie Lou
