Jamshed, If all else fails, try closing Word, search for all instances of NORMAL.DOT and delete them all. Then restart Word. If that doesn't work, you could try uninstalling and re-installing Word.

I have tried all settings in VIEW & WINDOW but without any luck. This was not the case earlier but I think that while trying some experiment my settings got altered. How do I get back to the default i.e. NO SPLIT IN THE WINDOW ?. Thanks, Jamshed< --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!
