Remarks

Word adds space along the left or right edge of the paper. This width is extended into the margin and does not change the width of the document or paper size.

Example

Sub BalloonWidth() 
 With ActiveWindow.View 
 .RevisionsBalloonWidthType = wdBalloonWidthPoints 
 .RevisionsBalloonWidth = InchesToPoints(1) 
 .RevisionsBalloonSide = wdLeftMargin 
 End With 
End Sub
