The zoom is set to 259% which is a lot of zooming in, and that’s why the page is wider than the window can display. The answer to solving that lies in the slider on the lower right edge. The key that there’s a zoom issue is that the left edge of the page can be seen against the grey background, but the right side is outta sight. And to see that in action, let’s start with a view of a story I’ve been reading in MS Word: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: You’d just have really big text within those margins.Ĭould it be the view you’ve selected? No, because the alternative views you have in Microsoft Word tend to make things smaller, not bigger, as I’ll demonstrate in a moment. Since you said you have to scroll to the right to see the whole page, we can eliminate type size as a problem: Even if you had the entire letter set to 128pt Palatino, the page itself wouldn’t change size and you’d be able to see both margins. Well, let me be a bit more informative, shall I? There are a couple of things that affect how you view a document when you open up Microsoft Word (or most other word processors, for that matter): the size of the type in the document itself, the “view” you’ve selected and the “zoom” you have set to make things larger or smaller.
