Problem with margins in Word

Suddenly my word doc has a big blank margin on the right side. Page view won't go "full screen" as normal. Tried to change view; printer view, nothing works. Something in margins maybe? Prints with the big empty side and also when changed to PDF. Did all the things I saw online. Just changed from Windows 10 to 11. Is that the problem? If so, how to fix it? If not, what can I do to get back to the normal page view.

Often this is the "markup area" (if the document contains comments or tracked changes). You won't see this in Print Preview if you disable "Print Markup" in the Print dialog.

    It's fixed! Once I deleted the All Markup in the Review tab, it righted itself and I was able to make a PDF without the indent on the side. Many, many thanks!!!
