My first guess would be that the document contains "markup" (tracked changes
or comments) and Word is allowing extra margin space for the "balloons." But
if that were the case, you would be viewing and printing the document from
Final Showing Markup view, and Print Preview would accurately show what will
print (and this would affect the entire document, not selected pages). So
that's probably a nonstarter. Are these six pages scattered or consecutive?
Are they in the same section? Are they in a separate section from the text
that prints correctly?

I am editing a 147 page manuscript set to specific margins consistent with
an
academic program. The margins are 1" top, bottom, and right and 1.5" left.
The font is set to 12 pt. Times New Roman. On all but 6 pages, the printed
page is consistent with the page set-up I see on the screen. However, on
those remaining pages, when printed the font is at 10 pts and there is a
3-4"
bottom margin. On the screen, it continues to look correct. When I view
the
manuscript using print preview, everything appears as it should. It is
only
when printed that the problem is evident. It is not a problem with my
printer. A friend printed from her printer with the same result. I am
fighting a deadline and don't know what else to try. I would be grateful
for
any ideas. I am using the track changes function and wondered if it were
the
problem, but evidently not as I accepted all changes and still have the
same
issues.
