= SUMMARY =

A Microsoft Word document in Page Layout View (Page View in Word 4.0) has a scroll bar across the bottom of the screen, but the scroll bar does not allow the document to scroll as far to the right as the document scrolls in Normal View. Page Layout View is designed to show your document as it will be formatted when printed; therefore, scrolling to the right is limited to the width of the physical page.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  Working in Normal View, set up a document with several lines of text and a right indent of 14 inches.   From the File menu, choose Page Setup, and set the page to US Letter (8.5 inches by 11 inches).   From the View menu, choose Page Layout to go into page layout view (in Word 4.0, from the Document menu, choose Page View). Notice that only 8.5 inches is visible on the ruler. The information contained in the document goes off the edge of the screen.   From the View menu, choose Normal to go back into normal view. (In Word 4.0, choose Page View again from the Document menu, and all of the information will become visible.)
