Page Size Problem
I'm using Word 2003 s-1 and all of th sudden the page size is not what it is
set to be. For example, letter size is the default when opening a new document. Although all of the setting indicate this is true, the size is not 8 12 x 11. When I view the doc at 50% and draw a text box the size of the entire page, the properties of that text box indicate that it is really 8 1/2 x 9. When I change the page to legal, the page size is really 8 1/2 x 10. I've tried doing a custom page size with the 8 1/2 x 11 setting and have also uninstalled, reinstalled, updated Office, but nothing works. Can anyone help? Thanks! Ms. T |

Hi MS T-
I believe the 'anomally' you are witnessing is because you have accidently activated the feature to Hide White Space... the area between your Top & Bottom margins and the respective edges of the page. Move your pointer to the top or bottom edge where it turns into a double white box with up/down arrows - the tip box will read "Show White Space". When you click there you will regain the 2 missing inches of paper. HTH |:) "Ms. T" wrote: I'm using Word 2003 s-1 and all of th sudden the page size is not what it is set to be.
