page resizes itself, extending a margin extends the page!
I'm completely stumped! I copy pasted some text from a web page into Word.
The page setup is set to A4 paper size. The margins are all set to standard. BUT for some reason the page has "resized" itself and added an extra inch or so to the right hand side of the page. The margins are set to 1.25" on either side, but with the extra "paper" that has been added, there is now roughly 2.5" inches of blank paper on the right hand side. So, the page size is set at A4 (8.27") and the margins are set up at 1.25" either side, and the text itself occupies the right amount of space (about 6") but the page on my screen is about 9.5" wide and the margin on the right is 2.5". When I print the document, it appears to be scaling itself down, so that even though it's printing onto A4, the right hand margin is still twice as large as it should be and the text is resized a little to fit. Why why why?! Please someone help me out. I've tried going through all the page setup settings and checking the paragraph format etc. I've tried re-pasting the text into a brand new document, but when I do that the beautiful new A4 page just resizes itself again! I'm just trying to get some study done - I wanted to copy this text so that I can print a draft quality copy and study, make notes on the train! Shouldn't be this stressful  |

I too am desperate for an answer, having asked a related (possibly) question
before without a solution that I'm aware of. My document looks perfectly fine on the screen, but when sent to print, it comes out looking like a photographically reduced (proportionally) image of the page to the left and up, somewhat like the prevous post described. Some suggested Track Changes accounted for this: Track Changes was not invoked on this document. I am not a Word expert in any sense of the word, pun intended, but it just seems that Track Changes is not the culprit. I have no proof, but maybe related to insufficient margin(s) - yet I get no message that it wants to print outside the margins. I tried reducing the % of original, but it makes the reduced image just that muich smaller. I wish I could attach a sample. So I remain as puzzled as the others. Any ideas are most welcome. -- White Shoes "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Please see reply to your earlier duplicate question here or elsewhere. -- Suzanne S.

*Every time* this has come up, it has turned out that there was "markup" in
the document. Try searching for comments; I'll be willing to bet Word thinks there is one even if you don't. Also, note that Track Changes doesn't need to be (currently) enabled for there to be unresolved changes in the document. -- Suzanne S.

OK, Thanks! Not being a Word guru, how does one find unresolved
markup/changes if we can't see the codes ? Is there a feature to toggle ? Thanks Again ! -- White Shoes "Suzanne S.

One more question - if it is due to track changes, does it print w/the
scaled-down image on Every Page - or just pages with comments or changes ? Thanks ! (my document - 150 pages - prints each and every page in this scaled-down fashion) -- White Shoes "Suzanne S.

If the document contains so much as a single change or comment, the entire
document will print reduced, I'm afraid. If the document contains markup, the Reviewing toolbar should be displayed by default (with view set to Final Showing Markup). If not, display the reviewing toolbar and use the Next button to go to the next change or comment. I'm not sure exactly how Word searches the various layers when you do this, but if it doesn't seem to find anything, try looking explicitly in the header/footer story (and also footnotes or endnotes if there are any). -- Suzanne S.
