Hi ?B?VG9za2V5?=,
I have had significant, repeated problems bringing in merge documents created
in Word 2003 as well as creating from scratch.
Constant problem: with "margins of section 1 are set outside the printable
area of the page" with nothing I can find to correct it, for example. And if
I just click on "ignore" for every page, they print fine. But that's a LOT of
clicking... These merges worked flawlessly in Word03.
Right. This *could* be a problem with the printer driver not communicating
correctly with Word 2007. If you want to email me a couple of documents that
exhibit this behavior I'll test to see whether they do the same. If they do, I
can file a bug report and forward them to the Word team.
Please include:
- version of Word in which they were created
- your printer (so that I don't have to searching for this message thread)
- a small data source (two records or so) so I can test quickly
Email that gets through to me (remove all the spaces and substitute my name as
you see it in my signature): myNameAsOneWord @ mvps dot org
-----------
Label format: Avery label 5160. (1x2.63, 3 across)
Margins created: Top: .5, Bottom: 0, Left and Right: .19
Interesting. On my installation the Left and Right are both at .48 cm (which
corresponds more or less to .19 in). No messages here about the margins, and I
can send the print job directly to the printer.
This would seem to indicate a problem with your configuration. Besides the
printer driver, you should try closing Word and renaming Normal.dot(x/m) to
NormalOLD.dot. Start Word to have it generate a clean copy. Test once more.
Then check the HP website whether any updated drivers are available (I have an
HP Laserjet 4, so HP *can* do it :-)) and test again.
