WYSIWYG lies and innuendo

I just got one of those pivotable monitors, so that I could see an entire page in one shot, without having to scroll. However, when I go into Word, and select the Full Screen view (or any view, for that matter), the page is clearly bigger than an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper. Is there any way to make the size correct??

Did you try View|Zoom? Either ‘100%’ or ‘Page width’ might work. In either case, you probably need Page Layout view. Normal view doesn’t show formatting correctly. (That’s Word 97. YMMV.)

On the other hand, Word or Windows may not understand your monitor, or the drivers that came with the monitor may be old. Check the manufacturer’s Web site for an updated version.
