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. |

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? -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
These improperly margined pages were scattered. Out of a 148 page manuscript, they appeared on pages 14, 32, 45, 56, 70, 72, and 76. As I said, the print preview reflects the margins as they are set and according to the toolbar settings, the font size remains constant at 12 pts. I have never had this happen before and have been using Word products since there have been Word products. I certainly appreciate your input. Pam "Suzanne S.

You haven't answered the questions about sections, which could definitely be
relevant. But if you can copy a small portion of the MS into a separate document (and the error persists there), send it to me and I'll take a look. -- Suzanne S.
