DOES ANYBODY KNOW? - Peculiar Print Layout Display
G'Day All,
Office Word 2003, alls SPs, on Windows Xp, all SPs. I have ONE Document that displays in a peculiar fashion. In Print Layout view the "paper" extends over an inch beyond the Right-hand limit of the Ruler (See attachment - ALL other documents have the right-hand side of the "paper" aligned with my superimposed dotted line). It displays correctly for a few seconds after opening, then suddenly switches to the view as shown. I did not create the document. After I had received it as an outline, I developed its content - about 90% of its present size. I have tried "Open and Repair" without improvement. It appears to Print correctly. Any advice or insight would be appreciated. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ |

OE zaps that attachment, so I can't comment directly. There was a longish
discussion a couple of months ago about a document with seriously bizarre layout and behaviour. The conclusion was that it had been created in something like PageMaker, then converted to PDF, then saved to Word. Depending on the printer driver, Word went bonkers trying to render it. Suggested fix is to abandon the current formatting. Save the thing as plain text, close, re-open, and re-format from scratch. "Pat Garard" apgarardATbigpondDOTnetDOTau wrote in message ...

Si unquam demon natus Sine cornibus..... Thanks for the reply! I will certainly try that when I get desperate enough.... In the meantime the damn thing is chock full of bookmarks, cross-references, screen-shots... PS How's John's Nose?? -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Jezebel" wrote in message ... OE zaps that attachment, so I can't comment directly.

Well! Well!
The Document contained a COMMENT - and Word generously extended the "Paper" to the right to accommodate the display of the comment in the right "margin"! I'll be damned! -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Pat Garard" apgarardATbigpondDOTnetDOTau wrote in message ...

Well, that's what I was going to suggest, if I'd gotten here in (antipodean)
time. I should think you would have recognized the condition from its frequent discussion in these NGs, though. -- Suzanne S.
