Margins seem to be moving??
When printing a Word document, the first 1 or 2 pages will print ok, but
subsequent pages get "shifted" over to the right, and the right side of the page gets cut off. We have uninstalled and re-installed Office (2000 small business), and re-applied all of the updates, but we still have the same problem. If we take the same document and print it on another workstation, it prints ok. OS is Windows 2000 pro, which also has all of the critical updates installed. We have also done virus scans using Symantec Corporate Edition and Panda ActiveScan, and an Adware scan using Ad-Aware. |

Look into upgrading the printer driver. Go to the manufacturer's web site and look
around. -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "GlenH" wrote in message ...

I don't see how this could be anything but a printer problem.

We have tried both the built-in Windows XP Pro drivers, and the newest HP PCL
drivers. We have also physically swapped the printer out for another one of the same model. (It is a HP Laserjet 1100) The same problem was present all along. "Suzanne S.

What do the documents look like onscreen? In Print Preview? Do they contain
more than one section? -- Suzanne S.

It is just a single page document. If we try to print, say, 10 copies of the
document, the first 2 or 3 pages are ok, then it all shifts to the right on the printed page.

If we're talking about multiple copies of the same document, then I don't
see how it could possibly be a Word issue since Word is sending it to the printer (or spool file) only once. -- Suzanne S.

Is it just this one page document that is causing the problem?
When was it created? I have heard of instances where a document created when one set of printer drivers are installed can then cause issues when printing to a new set of drivers. Since it's only a single page, you could try recreating it (I mean simply retyping it as cutting and pasting may drag across any settings). Best of luck.
