Default Word output to printer too big

The person you need to be upset with is the OP who multi-posted. And a wee
bit with yourself. You could search the archives with Google Groups.

And I have pet peeves too - with people who don't use the archives before
they post. I've seen the same question asked and answered day after day
after day. What ever happened to researching something before posting?
sigh Unfortunately that situation will never go away. We have become a
lazy society. Why look something up when someone else will do it for me?

Ok,

Point taken, but please note that I am neither the OP of this message, or
someone that usually multi-posts...

rant
However, as someone that frequently uses NGs to find the answers to those
little problems that crop up in my day-to-day work, few (NG related)
things annoy me more than finding someone else has asked exact same
question as I am having problems with and received an answer 'Answered in
another NG'. That is, I know that somewhere someone has an answer to my
problem, but I can't always find it... it would be so helpful from my
point of view if the responder to the post wrote 'Answered in your
(duplicate) post in alt.stuff.stupidQuestions.' or whatever.

Not having a personal go at you, you understand, just moaning about one of
my pet hates...

Have a nice day... ;-)

And this is why you should not post the same question in multiple
newsgroups. To be honest with you, I rarely pay attention to specifically
which of the Word newsgroups a question is located. I use OE and am
subscribed to 4 Word newsgroups and 10 others.

It'd be cool to know which other group, then anyone else with a similar
problem might be able to find an answer...

Hi,

I've got an HP Officejet T65 printer. In Word it shows the width of my
text as 4.5 inches, but when I print it out the width measures out to
more like 5 inches (just under 5 inches). I'm using the HP Officejet T
Series printer driver.

The strange thing is, if I get it to print directly as a PDF file, it
outputs the file as 5 inches (slightly larger than 5 inches actually).

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
