The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q180334

SYMPTOMS

A paragraph formatted with a negative indent does not display the negative indent in online layout view; however, Word allows you to set a negative indent while in online layout view.

CAUSE

Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition provides a new document viewing option called online layout view. This view optimizes the layout to make reading the text easier. To do this, Word increases the text size and wraps the text to fit inside the current window configuration. This view is designed primarily to view HTML or Web style documents that support background colors and textures. The changes made to the document to enhance readability affect the display of the document only. The document may print very differently from the way it is displayed when this online layout view is selected.

WORKAROUND

To display the document as it will be printed, switch to page layout view. The negative indent will be displayed correctly in normal view, but other formatting is not displayed in its proper location.

To switch viewing options, click the desired view on the View menu.
