Now that you've corrected the system wide paper scaling, I suspect all you'll need to do is correct your Nisus New File (new document template), which I suspect picked up the unwanted scaling somewhere along the way. Here's what to do:
1. Open your NWP preferences.
2. Switch to the "New File" pane.
3. Switch to the "Advanced" tab.
4. Under the "Nisus New File location" label, click the "Open For Editing" button.
5. The template will open.
6. Correct the page/paper setup.
7. Save and close the template.

We don't intend to keep this bug open (where scaled documents can generate poorly clipped/offset printouts/PDFs), but we haven't yet released any new versions that fix this issue yet.
Thanks for the follow-up, Martin. Your procedure worked! The first couple times I tried it, my new documents kept slipping back into 90% scaling. The key seems to be your step 7: "Save and close the template." By trial and error, I stumbled on closing the blank template that I'd just reformatted to 100% scaling: When I clicked the red button in the upper-left corner of the template's window, I got this message: "Do you want to save the changes you made to New File.dot?" I clicked "Save," and now the 100% scaling kicks in for new documents.
Recently I've run into a problem that at least seems to be related.
I've created 2 templates: one for novels I'm writing, and another one for other texts, e.g. for letters, etc.
In the first template, the text is scaled to 75% and the paper size is set to "JIS B5". In the second template, the text is scaled to 100% and the paper size is set to A4.
The other day, I had to write a letter. Inevitably, when I tried to print it, the "Margins outside the printable area" situation occurred. First, I chose "Fix margins". This garbled the margins somehow, but I finally got around to fix it. Then, after I saved and closed the document and re-opened it, the text scaling had reverted to 75% while the paper size retained its A4 setting. I had to fix the text scaling again. This keeps happening ever since whenever I open the document.
There is another weird thing. In the letter mentioned above, I used a numbered list. When I first used the list style, the numbers appeared in a font different from the font used in the text. When I opened the "Edit Styles" panel, the list style turned out to be set to the font used in the text but anyway the number's font was different. I corrected the font manually and saved the document. When I opened the document the next time, the font of the number had reverted to the previous setting (different from the surrounding font).
Following this thread, there seems a solution to be suggesting itself, i.e., setting the scale of the first template to 100% and the paper size to A4. But, also following this thread, I see reason to believe that in doing so, I might just cause all my other documents using the first template to turn to a 100% A4 setting. (So I haven't tried it yet.)
What I can't understand, is: How can the text revert to 75% after I've set it to 100%, and saved the document? How is it possible that one template (the "first") somehow seems to take priority over other templates in the first place? This doesn't seem to be expected behavior to me.
I don't want to stress the need for a remedy to the scaling problem. Martin, you've written that you won't keep the bug open. I think I can wait until it's fixed. But it seems weird, though. What am I doing wrong?
