White space larger than page size
I'm running Word 2002 and I've encountered a problem that has me stumped.
I had a 112 page file which I used to print off Calculus flashcards for my students. Each page contains a table with three rows of height 3.49" and width 7.66" in order to print on an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet. A page with three questions was followed by a page with their three answers, to be printed on the back of the questions. It worked fine. To make it "easier" to print and to add a new flashcard somewhere in the middle, I decided to split the file into two parts, one containing all the questions and the other all the answers. Here's the strange part... the questions file prints fine but the answer file prints at about 2/3 the size so it doesn't line up on the back side of the cards. The Page Setup settings are identical and the rulers are the same in Preview mode in both files BUT the answer file shows more white space on the answer file (as though the page size were more like 11" X 11" instead of 8.5" X 11".) Any ideas? |

My first thought is that Track Changes, Balloons have been activated?
These are found under Tools, Options, Track Changes, change "Use Balloons..." to Never. Also turn off Track Changes, click the "TRK" on the Status Bar.

Dean:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That solved it! I've never even dealt with Ballons before...
