    Check your View setting and make sure it's set to Normal.

    That did not work.  Maybe i did not explain it right. Used to be when i opened word 2007 i had an 8 1/2 x 11 page and i typed on it and it would only type on that size sheet.  Now, i type and the page just gets longer and longer and a horizontal slide bar shows on the bottom. i had to have clicked something wrong. i have looked everywhere for the answer. thanks in advance.

    Sorry, I can't help with 2007. May be someone else can jump in here. Meantime, go to File, Page setup and see if you can find out what has changed. Go through all the View settings. Do you have a Detect & Repair? Try the Help site online. Start here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA102310271033.aspx And here's another one that could help: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP012264921033.aspx#1

    Try finding and deleting the normal template -
     
    Exit Word
     
    Click Start, Run then type the following
     
    %userprofile%\application data\microsoft\templates
     
    Click OK
     
    Restart Word.
