TextEdit Sizing Issues

I have a Powerbook G4 1.67ghz that I am using for my school assignments. The problem is, Textedit keeps wanting to size my prints in this weird sizing. I'm not sure why, but unless I manually resize the window on the computer, it's too wide, and it makes the text TINY when I go and print it. I use Textedit on my iMac 20" Aluminum as well, and it works perfectly, no matter how wide it is on the computer. Should I just give up and buy Office for Mac, or start using NeoOffice?

 

I'm downloading OpenOffice as we speak, so hopefully this works better!
