Printing problem

I downloaded a Word document from the Internet (a legal form) that has
some complicated formatting. After making some changes in Word 2003, I
attempted to print it. It printed but in an extremely small size
(almost microprint). I checked the font and point size settings (mostly
TNR 10 pt and 12 pt) and tried again--same thing. Can someone tell me
what is going on and how I might be able to fix it?
 
If Track Changes was enabled, then it is printing reduced to allow a larger
margin for the "balloons."

This was not just reduced margins. The whole document (which is nearly
a full letter sized page) was printed in the top center and is about 1
1/2 X 2 inches.

1. I found this suggestion in Google Groups:
File>page setup>margins> to "Default" lower left corner

2. Try updating your printer drivers

The latest drivers are installed and I have not had the problem with
any other document. In addition, the same document printed normally in
both Word 2004 and WordPerfect 12 after I saved it as RTF.

Sounds like the "pages per sheet" setting in the printer might not be 1.
 
If this were the Word 2007 Beta, I could say that this is a known issue, but
for Word 2003, I'm out of ideas unless you have some scaling option set in
the printer Properties (Daiya's suggestion of "Pages per sheet" would be a
possibility if it were not the case that Word resets the Print dialog to the
default settings every time).
