Word 2002 shrinking page

[rwever]

A friend, using Word 2002, has a 144 page document that
someone gave him to print. When he opens it, the copy is
reduced to about three fourths of its original size but
the page size remains the same, leaving about a 3 inch gap
down the right and across the bottom.

It was laid out perfectly on the author's machine, with
standard margins all the way around. The author used Word
2000

Anyone have any suggestions on this?

Hi Rwever,

Tell you friend to make sure
- Track Changes is off, and that he's only viewing "Final"
(not "Final with markup") on the Reviewing toolbar
- That in Tools/Options/Print the option to resize A4/Letter
paper is off
- That none of the "scale to paper size" options is selected
in File/Print

If the "about a 3 inch" margins are really 2.67 inches, you may need
the fix from HP for the printer driver.
