Does the same thing happen when you export the output to PDF format. That's
probably a better choice for a variety of reasons (the export is of much
better quality, charts are not clipped, and will be consistently rendered
across versions of Acrobat reader) unless you expect the recipient to edit
the document.
What have you set the page setup to be within SPSS for the output document?
I don't see your behavior in 15.01 using Word 2007.

Subject: Is there a way to export SPSS output to a word file whose page
setup is LETTER and not CUSTOM ?
I work with many students who don't have SPSS so I typically export the
output to a Word file. And since I am usually busy, I tell them to they
must go to Page Setup in Word before printing and make sure it is set to
Letter because often the Page Setup is some strange custom size (eg 10.4 by
11), so they will be wasting lots of paper. So they look at Print Preview
and it looks fine, so they print and waste paper. This happens even when the
output has no charts and I haven't squished any pivot tables in SPSS to make
them more readable.
Is there some way to have SPSS tell Word that to use Letter sized paper?
I use SPSS 15 and Windows XP. And I am a statistician and not a programmer.
