Margins not holding as set.

In a manuscript of 63+ pages, right margin should be 0.5 in ----- left margin
1.5 in. When Print Preview is chosen, the actual right margin is more like 6
in. from the end of the page. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word 2002
to get new Normal.dot templates. Blank Template looks all right to the
Ruler, but when the manuscript is opened in word, the margins revert back to
being too wide on the right. How do I correct without re-typing manuscript?

I do not know about "tracked changes" or "comments". The manuscript is not
on my machine, but one recently completed reloaded with WinXP and SP2 with
all updates and no viruses or spyware. Cannot correct the margins. Any
suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

When I make a dummy document with x's with desired margins then add a comment
the result appears to be the same as with the Problem Document. I think this
is the solution. Many thanks.

Turn off the display of comments as balloons and see what happens to both
documents.

Tools > Options > Track Changes
Set it to "Never"
