Help with Libre Office

I have Libre Office on my PC. I have been sent a .doc 'booking form' document and have downloaded it but unfortunately the right hand side is cropped off. Is there and way of downloading it in its original form ?

    You probably did download it in its original form. Just sounds like the document formatting, if from MS Office, is not compatible with libre office. This can happen if the form is complex with lots going on.

    If you can find wordpad.exe in an obscure directory under C:\Windows try running that and using it to open your .doc file. It will give you more-or-less what Word would show.

    Alternatively, could it be that you have set the zoom/magnification in LibreOffice Writer to be too big to show the whole document on a page?
