Word doc unexpectedly printing smaller? Off to one side? Top right of A4 page?

FYI:

Keep an eye out for this issue. :unsure:

Using Windows10, up-to-date Word + Epson Sylus Photo1290.

Facts:
  1. 1. All my other docs print fine. This one doc started repeating this strange behaviour a few weeks ago (I thought it was a temp glitch of an auto update).
  2. 2. Printer seems to be set ok.
  3. 3. Margins and paper interpretation sizes seem ok.
  4. 4. Print preview ok. Then prints too small and not in the middle either!
  5. 5. Help requested from Word - Microsoft had remote control of my PC for two hours today trying to find a solution (admirable but our tests did not succeed. Sounded like the issue was even drawing in a bigger team to study this over the Chat). I was impressed.
  6. 6. Finally left it with Microsoft to think about (they even gave me a phone number - perhaps in case I panic).
  7. 🔎🖨
Online version of Word seemed to improve things but when we brought back it made it worse.

Oh, temporary fix...export as PDF and it prints fine. :cool:
