SYMPTOMS

When you click Shrink to Fit on the Print Preview toolbar, Word may repaginate your document several times. It may appear that Word is repaginating your document in an endless loop.

After several attempts, Word was unable to shrink the document by one page.
-or-
Word could not shrink the document by one page because the document is already only one page.
