Word in Office 2021 has started showing a wide white page and border surrounding text which doesn't print as shown in the screenshot. Until a few days ago I just used to see the page contemt against the A4 white page. Has something changed in a recent update?

I experienced the same thing using Word as part of MS 365. I use a dark gray theme and previously the document background in preview mode was a dark gray. I went back to a earlier version of MS 365 and the problem went away so I suspect the issue is part of an update, not sure which one.

This seems to be bug in the last update thanks to Microsoft's usual sloppy software engineering. I've submited a feedback report in the vain hope they read it and fix the bug.
