I really do think what you're running into is the printer's unprintable
area. If you are going to print to a desktop printer, this is just something
you will have to work around. You can print to a PDF and get the whole
thing, but when you print the PDF, Acrobat is just going to scale it to get
it all on the page within the printer's capabilities.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your help with my questions - I really appreciate it a lot.
I tested the print preview as you suggested, and the document print
previews
perfectly, but the problem of the text in the text box cutting off about
half
of the first letter remains.
I tried moving the text box to the center of the page, where the body of
the
letter would usually go, and it does not cut off there. It prints the way
it
looks on the screen.
I hope to have a few minutes to try some of the different techniques you
describe for setting up a letterhead template so I can reach a real
resolution instead of relying on my workaround of save as PDF, print PDF.
Any other thoughts on how to solve this problem would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Nash_deVille

Well, first of all, you don't need the section break; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for the correct
procedure.
And in the second place, you don't need the text box; if you apply the
appropriate wrapping to your logo, you have exactly the same placement
options as a text box.
But the reason it isn't printing as you want probably has to do with the
printer's unprintable area. Are you seeing it cut off in Print Preview?
If
so, then that's the issue. Most printers have a finite, irreducible
unprintable area required for the mechanics of paper handling.

Word 2007
Vista Home Premium x64 64 bit
Word Template has teh following characteristics
It is letterhead
created a logo in a text box to control positioning precisely
created a section break continuous and typed in text of address
in next section added standard body elements.
Looks perfect on screen.
When printing the first character of the logo in the text box is cut
off.
I have tried every layout manipulation I can think of but it still is
not
giving me WYSIWYG printing.
I previously did this exact operation successfully in Word XP. I
thought
it
might be a conversion issue, so I recreated a new template in Word 2007
from
scratch, and the problem remains the same.
Any insights would be much appreciated.
