Andy,
Since posting my request for assistance, I have solved the problem. For the
benefit of others who may encounter the same (or similar) problem in the
future, here is what I did:
1. Deleted OOo from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
2. Deleted the application folder and all its contents in Windows Explorer.
3. Deleted the folder for OOo in Documents and Settings.
4. Reinstalled OOo from the downloaded .exe file.
After rebooting and opening OOo Writer, I was able to print in full page
composition as normal. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones that
work best, but we don't always see them at first.
Thanks to you and to anyone else who may have had the impulse to respond to
my request for help.

Folks,
Whenever I print a document from OOo Writer, the document always prints
in
a reduced size; if there are multiple pages in the document, they are
printed on a single page, up to 4 per page. This happens regardless of
which printer I use. It never happens with any other word processor
application.
This is a guess as I don't use Windows, but OOo gets some information from
the
printer driver rather than forcing the attributes. Check the printer
dialog
when you print, especially the printer Properties, as some drivers can
double
up like this. If it can be set there, then check your default template to
see
what that indicates and change it if necessary. Otherwise, I suggest you
may
have to check the printer properties in Windows. If that fails, I don't
know.
The problem persists even though I have twice uninstalled and reinstalled
the program from the OOo website. I also have cleaned the Registry and
defragmented my hard drive, with the same result. The problem occurs
whether or not I am printing an old document saved in Writer or I compose
a
completely new document. It happens with all settings on default
immediately after downloading the program anew and opening Writer.
The problem started to occur several days after OOo.com was first
downloaded and installed. Prior to that, printing was normal. I can only
conclude that some fragment of code must remain on my system, even after
removing the app in Add/Remove Programs and deleting the empty file in
Windows Explorer.
I would appreciate any feedback or recommendations on how to deal with
this
problem: Many thanks.
