If you are tracking changes and have balloons enabled, the wide right
margin
is for the balloons.

Selby,

Just guessing but have you checked your margins? The American default is
something like 3.5cm for the right margin. Why they do that I do not
know.
Also the page is set by default to the American letter size which is much
shorter than the universal A4 size.

Check your margins FILE PAGE SETUP and while there check your page
size -
assuming you are not American? If you make any changes make sure you
click
DEFAULT before you leave the dialogue box otherwise you will be back
where
you started.

Also make sure the Multiple Pages are set to NORMAL and not mirrored.

It appears that there is a large white space on the right side of my
documents. When I go to print layout, 2 pages side by side are shown.
I
would like to return to a single page, without the large blank space
Your
help is appreciated.
