Text shrunk margin on right increased

[bonnie in calgary]

When I open my saved document (1 inch margins right and left) it appears and
prints with the text shrunk and a two inch margin on the right. I've checked
things like gutters - in fact checked everything and searched help. I'm not a
novice user but I can't figure out what the heck's going on!

It usually indicates that you have tracked changes or comments (or at least
that Word thinks you have them) and space in the right margin is being
reserved for balloons to show them.

First click the Tools menu and make sure the Track Changes item isn't turned
on; if it is on, click it to turn it off.

Display the Reviewing toolbar, click the down arrow next to the Reject
Changes button, and click Reject All Changes in Document. Click the down
arrow again and click Delete All Comments in Document. Save the document
again.
