Oh, printing wasn't mentioned, I think you're on the right track, but I expect the
answer might be View (menu), Normal
to change back to normal after using View, Page Break Preview
where you would see blue page numbers in the middle.

Hi,

Have you reduced the sheet using the zoom function?
Check View\Zoom and see what value is selected, if it is greater than 100%
then you have 'zoomed in'.

Changing the paper size only changes how the sheet prints out not how it
appears on the screen unless you go to print preview.

Hope this helps
