Page layout errors
Don't do anything desperate! Here are a couple shots in the dark.
Did you create the document yourself rather than working from a document made by somebody else? Also, did you have the problem from the beginning or did it simply appear one day? If so, can you think of anything you might have been doing at the time the problem appeared? In page Setup, make sure the margins are for the entire document, or if they are for sections, that all sections have the same 1 inch margin. Does your ruler show the 1 inch margin you wanted or was it somehow modified to match the margin you actually have? The margin settings can be overridden by other places where it could be set. Put your cursor on a typical page with the big right margin and click Format, paragraph and see if there is some sort of indent in there. With the cursor in the same spot, check the see what style you have in effect, and then see what sort of settings you have in that style, particularly for paragraph. Is anything actually "in" that big right margin? Is it possible that you have a header or footer that extends down or up into the right margin. Could the document be corrupted? Hope this helps. "Bree" wrote in message ... I have a large report that is 250+ pages. Page setup indicates a page size of 8.5 x 11. My margins are set at 1" on all size. However, when I view this document, there is a significantly larger piece of open page on the right hand side. Further, when I print all or part of the document, it only occupies about 75% of the total page. Please help. I am pulling my hair out! |

This is normal if you have Track Changes enabled or have comments in the
document. Word is displaying and printing the document with "markup" and allowing a large margin for the "balloons." -- Suzanne S.
