MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / October 2005Word 2003 - Page size displays incorrectly
for some reason the page display size is only showing 7"x9" even though all my setting show that it is set at 8.5"x11". What would cause such a thing to happen and what can I do to fix it. I have tried repairing the problem and reinstalling the software. Do I need to uninstall the software and then install it again. I have some templates I had made that will come up with the correct display of 8.5"x11", but any new documents only show 7"x9"..... Thanks for your help If you're saying the page SIZE (File-->Page setup) is 7 x 9, then just edit your normal.dot file: http://www.officearticles.com/word/about_normal_dot_in_microsoft_word.htm If there's other things wrong, you may want to rename your normal.dot.

The program insists on displaying new blank documents as if they were 7" x 9", even though it prints them out correctly. This makes laying out documents onscreen rather difficult. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Cheers, Juan Hi, Juanito. Here's what I would do. I would go to the mfr site and download the proper printer driver for my combination printer and operating system, and install it (you just never know, and this is EASY). If that doesn't work, then you need to do ALL of the troubleshooting steps: http://www.officearticles.com/word/steps_to_troubleshooting_microsoft_word.htm ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com > "Adam" wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Juan "Adam" wrote: > > for some reason the page display size is only showing 7"x9" even though > > all my settings show that it is set at 8.5"x11".

Does anyone else have any suggestions? Cheers, Juan Can you describe what you are seeing? If you are seeing that the ruler shows 7" x 9", then this represents just the document body area (inside the margins).  SignatureSuzanne S.
