Default Difference between Screen View and Print Layout View

If this is Word 2002 or above, probably the document contains markup. The
extra margin is allowed for the "balloons." When you view the document in
Print Preview, you should see the page reduced; by default it's in the upper
left-hand corner of the page) with extra margin space on the right side and
at the bottom.

I have the paper set to 8.5 x 11". The page shows as much wider in both

the
Print Layout view and the Print preview, so that it apears that I can make
the print area larger. When I actually print the right side is cut off.

I've
also checked the print settings to make sure that they agree with the 8.5

x
11" size.

Is there any other setting that I'm missing?

It may just be a visual but it makes it hard to see what the final product
is going to be.
