right margin makes narrow document. how to move to right?

[treb]

In Word, clicking on "New", resulting available space has right margin only
about 2/3 of the width of the page. This makes for a narrow document. I
tried Page Setup, but cannot move the right margin.

Can you tell me how to do this, please?

Thank you

This usually indicates that you have Track Changes on and Balloons activated
and also you have this setting activated in the Normal.dot, from your
desciption that is happens when you start a new document.
Change the Use Balloons to Never from the Track Changes tab in Tools Options
and the turn off Track Changes but do this in the Normal.dot file.
See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/blankdocnotblank.htm on how to open
and edit this file.

Hope this helps
