Printing problems

[Erik]

I am making a report in Word.

On screen everything looks all right. When printing the text and printed
area of the page is diminished to about 75%. The paper gets a wide margin
right and bottom. I have tried two different printers. In Page Setup
everything seems to be correct.

If I print the document in Open Office, printing is normal

Printing of other documents from Word is normal.

Thank you for any suggestion.

Is the paper in your printer the same size as the page defined in the
document?

Most likely the document contains Comments or Tracked Changes. If the
Reviewing toolbar is displayed, set the view to Final before printing.
Alternatively, open the Print dialog (Ctrl+P) and choose "Document" instead
of "Document showing markup." In Word 2002/2003, the default print setting
for documents containing markup is "Document showing markup," which reduces
the text size to allow margin space for the "balloons." If you disable
balloons (Tools | Options | Track Changes), the document will print
normally, with markup inline.
