Fromatting Problem w/ Document Created in Works
I am having formatting trouble with a 239 page manuscript created in
MS Works. I do not recall which version of Works but I ran it under Windows 3.x and Windows 95. I had not problem opening it and saving it to Word (2002) format. I have no problem editing either. However, when looking at the document on screen in Print Layout View, on the left the white representing the paper extends beyond the 8.5" allotted. When printing, the printer automatically resizes to allow for the ghost space so the text is smaller than it should be and the right and bottom margins are huge. If I copy and paste a single page into a blank document, it does not carry over the formatting problem. However, if I try to copy over the whole document (even when excluding the first and last pages), the problem recurs. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Christian |

Fromatting Problem w/ Document Created in Works
It sounds as if you either have Track Changes turned on or have comments in
the documents. This layout is to allow for the marginal balloons. If you go to the Print dialog and select "Document" instead of "Document with Markup" (or choose Final on the Reviewing toolbar), you will not get the extra space. If you don't mean to be tracking changes, turn Track Changes off and Accept All Changes in Document. -- Suzanne S.
