Wrong Page Layout in Word(Microsoft Works Suite 2006)

[Vicky Panenic]

When, I view my page it says 8.5x11 yet the length of the page is clearly not
11". Even when I try to adust I dont get the normal size for 8.5x11. What I
am noticing is that the paper sizing is way off. How do I adjust this?

What is the default setup for your printer in the control panel?

Is it a case of the white space not showing at the top and bottom of the
page.

See the following page of fellow MVP Susan Barnhill's website:

That control was introduced in Word 2003. No version of Works Suite has a
Word version later than 2002.

Does the document contain "markup" (tracked changes or comments)? If so,
Word is allowing extra side margin space for the "balloons," which tends to
distort the page aspect ratio. If you look at Print Preview, you'll see
that, by default, the text will be shrunk up into the top left corner.

Hi Mary, thanks for responding. I checked the default setup and it is set
to the printer that I have which is the Lexmark 1200 series. I checked the
paper layout is plain, portrait and clearly highlighted 8.5x11, even there
the size looks odd for that size. The print layout is Normal.

Hi Doub, thanks so much for responding. I checked that out and everything
is ok there.
