Hello,
Ill try to be as straightforward as possible. Im working with Word 2000 on Windows XP, and I use the A4 paper format. I have my top, bottom and side margins set to 2.5cm. When I print out a page, the result is a sheet of paper with the correct margins: 2.5cm all round. No problems, everyones happy. However, Ive just noticed the following: while in page view and in print preview, the top margin is actually 3cm instead of 2.5cm. This makes a difference when €˜printing to (or creating) pdf files. Whenever I hit €˜print in order to make a pdf file from the Word document, the pdf file reproduces the document exactly as it appears in page view/print preview. In other words, the pdf file has a top margin of 3cm instead of the specified 2.5cm. So, the question is the following: Why doesnt the top margin show up properly in page view/print preview? Im going to be doing a fair amount of €˜printing to pdf files, and Im wondering if there is a way to get round this issue. Ive looked around, but havent seen any answers. Thanks in advance, Stephen |

Is the paper format correctly set in File | Page Layout? Also, have you
looked at the paper format specified in your PDF software? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Steve" wrote in message ... Hello, I'll try to be as straightforward as possible.

Hello Stefan,
And thanks for your respone. The paper format (A4) is correctly set in Word, and the format is also correctly specfiied in the PDF software. It's very odd, but in page view and print preview the Word document does not appear with the properly defined top margin. If I print directly to the physical printer, it will print a physical copy with the top margin as it is defined (2.5cm). However, the PDF creator will create a pdf file that reproduces the Word document exactly as it appears in page view, i.e., wrongly, with a top margin of 3cm. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Stephen "Stefan Blom" wrote: Is the paper format correctly set in File | Page Layout?

You could try asking about this issue in the
microsoft.public.word.printingfonts newsgroup instead. Alternatively, ask in a forum about your PDF converter (assuming there is one). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Steve" wrote in message ...
