Undo shrink to fit

I spoke too soon. Although printing in A4 is better, the
paper size indicated in horz/vertical rulers is now 7 x
10.5, so looks better but paper size is still not the
same as in page setup selection in A4, too. The ruler
seems to be the key. On the top, horizontal ruler, the
ruler itself is even shorter than the page width. I
copied every thing but the last paragraph mark into a new
document, and no change. The paragraph markings must be
throughout.

UPDATE: Good idea. When I copy only the first few pages,
minus the paragraph marking on the last paragraph into a
new doc with A4 set up, it works. If I do it to the end
of the document, minus the last paragraph, it does not.
How can I reveal the problem code?

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?

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.

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?

No, did not work. And Yes, paper size is different in

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

Paper. Is the paper size selected here the same as

what

is loaded in


the printer?

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.

Just prints reduced. Also full size in print
preview.

Does the page look reduced on the screen too? Or

does


it look full-size



on screen and just prints reduced?

At least I think that is the problem. My page is

not

printing full-size but reduced to about 90% or

less.

This is so strange. Word is supposed to store "document" information in
the last paragraph mark, so copying everything except the last paragraph
mark sometimes fixes problems like this. There's no telling exactly
where the "bad" paragraph mark is, if it's not the last one. I'd say to
keep copying a few paragraphs or pages at a time into the new document
until it messes up, then you'll know where the problem child is.

I found it. By accident. I accepted all changes in track.
One format change did not clear....Guess which one. I
deleted it by copying, retyping over error, etc. and then
copied whole temp document into a new one, and it worked--
both in A4 and Letter. Thanks for expert help. Whew!
