Default Word 2003: Section breaks & page formatting

I have a Word 2003 document with 5 sections. Sections 1,2,3 are in portrait.
Section 4 is in landscape. Section 5 returns to portrait. When doing a
print preview, all formatting appears to be correct. But when I print, the
1st page of Section 5 prints in a reduced font in landscape formatting. I
have looked at all page and print settings and can't seem to find where the
issue is located. I have tried removing section breaks and reinserting them.

Help! Any thoughts on what is causing this issue?

Default Word 2003: Section breaks & page formatting

Are you tracking changes? Or are there comments in the document? In either of these two cases, Word might be reserving space for the so-called balloons.

Default Word 2003: Section breaks & page formatting

In Section 4, when you go into Page Setup, what size paper does it say is
assigned to the page? If it's set to something other than 8.5 x 11 (such as
11 x 17, for example), your printer might be reducing the page to a size it
can print on the paper it's loaded with.
