It is difficult to describe the problem but the first page of every document in writer is offset and often out of view. Here is a screen capture that shows what I mean. .
I just typed the word “Test” and then a bunch of Enters and then “test” again after a bunch of Enters. You see the margin guide is set for the second page where the cursor is … and then it seems the third page is set underneath the first page.
Any idea what is going on here?
