Default Suppressing margin warnings

Hi TedMi,

But if you edit the non-printing area for the printer, via the maker's printer utilities, you can probably set the minimum allowable
margin to as little as 0. Word then won't warn you that the margins are too small.

Yes, I am fully aware that the physical non-printable area cannot be changed, but the printer driver complains about margins that
are NOT outside the printable area.

Hi TedMi,

You can eliminate the warnings by accessing your printer's configuration and changing its minimum margin setting - you may even
be able to set it to 0. You may need the manufatcurer's printer utilities software to do this, since the MS drivers may not give
access to those settings. Note, though, that changing this setting won't necessarily enable greater print covergae on the paper
and, instead of getting the warnings, anything in the non-printing area will simply be cut off.

Avery template 5160 has side margins set at .19", and closing the margin dialog generates the margin warning message. However,
when the page is printed, the margin warning does not appear. How is that done? On my hand-crafted templates, printing generates
a warning for every section - a pain for multi-page docs. How to suppress?

Thanks,
