Word margins

[Kevin]

What am I doing wrong all of the sudden?? When I print a
Word document the page is shrunk tt about half-size and
scooted to the upper right-hand corner. I've checked all
the settings I can think of and still it happens. Any
suggestions?

Are you applying any scaling to the document? Do you have tracked changes or
comments?

I'm going to show my ignorance by admitting I don't know
what scaling or tracked changes are. Is it possible to
do that without knowing it? How do I check? What do I
do about it?

Thanks.

Scaling will apply only if you're using Word 2000 or above and tracked
changes only if you're using Word 2002.

Scaling: In the Print dialog, there are settings to print multiple pages on
a sheet or to scale a document to a different paper size. Some printer
drivers also provide scaling options (in the printer Properties).

Tracked changes: In some earlier versions I believe this was called
"revision marking." It's turned on by Tools | Track Changes or
double-clicking TRK on the status bar. When you are tracking changes,
inserted text is (by default) underlined and deleted text struck through,
but both are still present. In Word 2002, if you are tracking changes or if
you insert comments, the insertions and comments are by default shown in
"balloons" (like callouts) in the margin, and Word shrinks the document to
allow room for the balloons. If you have even a single comment in the
document and are printing from a view "showing markup," the default print
choice is "Document showing markup," even though you may be printing a
single page that doesn't have a comment on it.
