Problem with viewing A4 Print Layout

[element110]

Hi,

I just got a copy of Microsoft Word 2003. The problem I am having i
that when I start a new document the page layout on screen look
strange. I have selected A4 size and print layout view but can't see
to solve the problem. You will see what I mean if you click on th
screenshot below:

'Screenshot' (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/element110/Image1.jpg)

As you can see the page layout looks out of proportion. When I compil
a document and print it there are no problems it's just the look of i
puts me off.

When I open older documents, they display as they should, in A
format.

Has anyone any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

Many thanks,
Neil

You have zoom level set to 75%. I don't know what your screen resolution is
set to, but the fact that you have an unsupported Windows skin may also be
contributing to the problem.

Hi Neil,

Either by using the Zoom item on the toolbar or by selecting that item, from
the View menu, change the size of the document on the screen - probably
selecting either Page width or Text width will be want you want.

What do you mean nobody? There are two responses to your question. Read

Hi,

I don't know what you mean, I posted "nobody?" before anyone did
reply!? Anyway, thanks for your responses, I got the problem sorted. It
wasn't anything to do with the windows skin nor the zoom factor. It
seems that if you position your mouse cursor just between the top of
the page and the horizontal rule and click your mouse button once, Word
will hide the unused white space thus making your A4 layout look
squashed!

Cheers,

Neil.

Ah, I see that you are using Rubin's crappy website. That probably explains
why you did not see the answers.
