Page view size on screen is larger than actual page size

I have Win XP SP2, all updated, Word 2002, SP3.

Choosing say A4 for page setup, setting it to 100% and viewing as Print
layout, at 100% used to give a screen size page which was actually equal to
A4 ie 21cm x 29.7cm.

For some time now, the screen size is now larger than that - the ruler at
the top and bottom shows the marking as being 21cm x 29.7cm, but the cm units
on the ruler are marked off at larger than cm units, consequently the screen
size page is larger than actual.

This is annoying as it is not an accurate representation of the page layout
for things on the page relative to each other.

Any ideas what has caused this and how to fix?

I have never known or believed "100%" to be intended to be "actual size,"
given the variety of monitor sizes and resolutions.
