MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / June 2004Undo 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? > How do I undo a 'shrink to fit'?

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. >-----Original Message----- >Just prints reduced. Also full size in print preview. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >. 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? > Correction to below: > Prints reduced towards upper left hand corner.

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 >-----Original Message----- >What you just said gives me another idea.

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 > printer.

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. >-----Original Message----- >Hmmm... I would think it impossible to have one page size defined in [quoted text clipped - 75 lines] > >. 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? > Did not work to copy and paste in a new document.

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? >-----Original Message----- >That's buried in the printer driver... you can delete and reinstall the [quoted text clipped - 126 lines] > >. 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 spoke too soon.

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! >-----Original Message----- >This is so strange. Word is supposed to store "document" information in [quoted text clipped - 201 lines] > >. 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. :-) > Just prints reduced.
