I have a weird problem. I don’t know what I have done.

It have a blank page next to my page which like a extend but O cant insert any text. It look like a margin but it not. Just see my demo image, you will see the ruler in my office.

enter image description here

When you print it, it also have it too.

I try to copy and pasted it in new document by all of type paste. But it still have this.

It doesn’t have it when you have a new document or other file.
When I try to open this document from a zip file, it still occur.

Any idea?

This may be the Markup Area.

This can appear if you have Tracked Changes or Comments anywhere in your document (i.e., if you scroll, you may find them).  You’ll want to familiarize yourself with the “REVIEW” tab.  The controls in the “Comments” section will let you find Comments; similarly, the controls in the “Changes” section will let you find Tracked Changes.  The “Tracking” section gives you ways to control how/if the Markup Area is displayed.  For example, you might want to change “All Markup” to “Simple Markup” or “No Markup”:

                the “REVIEW” tab

or use the “Show Markup” control to be more selective.
