Default Word output to printer too big

Well, you've taught ME a new way to search the archives, so you've done a
good deed... not sure if I can take any credit for this one,
I should probably hang my head for not thinking of it in the first place!!

I find that's the easiest way to find a post. If it doesn't work, you can
try searching by the topic, assuming *that's* the same.

If all you and I have accomplished is teaching people a new way to search
the archives, we've still done a good deed. :-)

Try searching on the poster's name - assuming they've used the same
name.

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.

True, but on more than occasion, I've found the reference to the answer
being in another NG, but not actually been able to find it, and yes, I
do use Google Groups. I guess there is no answer to this one,


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...

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup.

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?
