I'm having the same prob. The ruler is shorter than the paper. I have a
huge r-margin in the print view (blank). The ruler is normal scale, but the
paper is way large. Looks like the paper and the ruler are out of sync. The
track changes had been used by the previous author. Funny how much "stuff"
this guy created. I have to revise his "stuff" daily, there's always
something new. You don't know how tricky Word is until you revise an amateurs
work (actually uses spaces instead of setting tabs). I'm sure this is another
Microsoft glitch. Funny how I used Word Perfect in the late '90 and never had
any problems and could even make the boarders on the top row of a table
larger than rest of the table. It tool Word years to allow you to split
cells. Even today Word tables are totally unreliable.
Go to tools, track changes (opens toolbar) accept all. The paper will snap
back to normal.
