word not filling the whole page
somehow I messed up my word 2016 document. I created a separation bar also the yellow background is not filling the entire page. Can someone tell me how to fix these 2 problems? get rid of the space between the title and the abbreviations and how to fill the whole page with yellow background? Thank you

That did not work Andrew.When I went to lay ou-indent-changed it to -0.25 it worked however when I color background then things get shifted to right creating a gap on the left side.
If you remove the bullets what happens? You might have to change the bullet indent.

Basem,
Does the document have any sensitive or personal information in it? If not, please upload a copy of the problematic file so we can take a look at it.
*Important Note* Do not do this if the document contains *any* sensitive or personal information in it - or remove all/any sensitive or personal information from a copy of the docx document first, resave and then upload that. This should be easy to solve with a copy of the document to see exactly how it's been formatted.
Failing that, copy all text into something that does not support RTF (like notepad), do as I said before but copy the text back from Notepad instead of a problematic Word page. Did you copy this text from the Web somewhere or write it yourself? The former would carry over hidden formatting characters that could cause this behavior too.

I did what you suggested and it did not fix it. I will include a copy.GoodHousekeeping.docxMedical-Terms-new.docx
There is another exact copy "good housekeeping" if you add background then you will see it does not cover the whole page.

Both experts are very smart
Hard to determine the problem exactly without a copy of the document, but I'd suggest you try the following as a quick fix.
1. Open a new word page
2. Apply the Yellow Background to the entire new page first
3. Now copy / paste the content(s) of the problematic document
Does that help?
If it worked, you can just save and over-write the one that's messed up.
I hope that's helpful.
