Are you seeing these dimensions as a Custom size on the Paper tab of Page
Setup, or are you judging from the ruler in Print Layout view? If the
latter, see

Running Word 2007 on XP machine.
When I start a new document, Word sets it to the wrong size. For example,
a
document set as A4 stes to a size of 27cm x 21cm. Similar things happen
when
A3 is selected and even when a custome size is set to A4 dimensions.
When I open normal.dotm it works fine.
It is as if Word is opening a different template to when it opens first
time, when ctrl-N is used or when opening NEWBlank Document from the
Office
menu.
This is a recent phenomenon. but I cannot pin it down to being caused by
one
particular event, I am afraid.
Short of reinstalling, which I don't really want to do as I would have to
do
the entire Office suite and not just Word, does anyone have any
answers/thoughts?
