Default Undo shrink to fit

How do I undo a 'shrink to fit'? MS Word Help says it is
difficult...Is there a way.
At least I think that is the problem. My page is not
printing full-size but reduced to about 90% or less.

Does the page look reduced on the screen too? Or does it look full-size
on screen and just prints reduced?

Correction to below:
Prints reduced towards upper left hand corner. On screen,
the right margin (not bottom) is larger. Ruler on top of
page looks to be the size for narrower document. Cannot
correct size of ruler to be same as paper size. I am
producing letter size document for US, but otherwise
produce A4 documents. So may be problem in something
overriding something. Thanks.

Hi, Jane.

Click on Tools | Options | Print | uncheck the "Allow A4/Letter
resizing" box | OK.

Click on File | Print. In the "Print what" box, it should say
"Document" (not "Document with Markup"). If there is a Scaling/Resizing
option in this menu, set it to 100% or No Scaling or something like
that. Click on the Properties button next to the printer name. You
will probably see several tabs... look in all of them and turn off any
Scaling/Resizing options.

Let me know if it works. :-)

What you just said gives me another idea. Click on File | Page Setup |
Paper. Is the paper size selected here the same as what is loaded in
the printer?

No, did not work. And Yes, paper size is different in
printer. As I have a US client, I want it to print like a
letter size document(to retain format), on A4 paper for
me to review (as I don't have letter paper).

But I see another problem with the ruler: ruler shows a
page about 7 x 9. I have selected Letter paper in page
setup, and page setup, indicating 8 1/2 x 11. No matter
what I do cannot get rid of 7 x 9 size (shape looks funny
on the screen, by the way, too). That is why I thought it
was a shrink to size problem before. This document has
been in hands of US person putting in changes, so not
sure what happened on that end to give you more info.
thanks

Hmmm... I would think it impossible to have one page size defined in
page setup and another page size show on screen. Try pressing Ctrl+A to
select all of the text, then copy and paste it to a new document. Does
that help?

Did not work to copy and paste in a new document. But I
was able to change the document to A4. It looks normal on
screen, prints normal, and ruler is normal. As soon as I
change it to Letter, all three are not normal. Could it
be that the Letter format is corrupted? If so, how do I
reset it? I use it frequently.

That's buried in the printer driver... you can delete and reinstall the
printer in Start | Control Panel | Printers. But before you do that,
try copying and pasting everything EXCEPT the last paragraph mark in the
existing document into a new document... how now?
