I have lost the top and bottom margins on new documents. I have tried 
resetting using the Margins box and even though these have the correct values 
in them, there are no top and bottom margins on the document. I must have 
done something inadvertantly to overide the settings shown. Closing down and 
restarting does not overcome the problem. How can I recover ?

Many Thanks

It sounds like the OP hid the spacing between pages. The fix is to put the 
curson on the area where one page ends and the next begins (the narrow space 
between them) and click there again. It's a toggle; click on, click off.

Indeed. And that answer was posted four days ago.
