Text Frame Positioned Left Relative to Page Not at Page Edge

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

If you apply Left Relative To Page frame formatting to framed text, Word for Windows may not position the frame at the edge of the page. Instead, Word may position the frame a small distance from the edge of the page (approximately .5 inch).

This happens only with framed text, not with a framed picture. It may not happen if you have a small left margin setting such as .5 inch.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c. This problem was corrected in Word version 7.0 for Windows 95.

WORKAROUND

To position framed text at the left edge of the page, type "0" (zero, without the quotation marks) in the Horizontal Position box in the Format Frame dialog box.
