Default Change paper size; Word changes to invalid margins

This is almost certainly because the print driver does not support 7 x 9
paper size. It is Word interrogating the print driver that determines the
minimum margins and paper size permitted. Try a different printer (and
driver) and test to see if it works correctly.
