Word output to printer too big
Hi,
I've got an HP Officejet T65 printer. In Word it shows the width of my text as 4.5 inches, but when I print it out the width measures out to more like 5 inches (just under 5 inches). I'm using the HP Officejet T Series printer driver. The strange thing is, if I get it to print directly as a PDF file, it outputs the file as 5 inches (slightly larger than 5 inches actually). Anyone have any idea why this is happening? - Brian |

It'd be cool to know which other group, then anyone else with a similar
problem might be able to find an answer... ;-) Chris. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...

And this is why you should not post the same question in multiple
newsgroups. To be honest with you, I rarely pay attention to specifically which of the Word newsgroups a question is located. I use OE and am subscribed to 4 Word newsgroups and 10 others. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "ChrisM" wrote in message ...

Ok,
Point taken, but please note that I am neither the OP of this message, or someone that usually multi-posts... rant However, as someone that frequently uses NGs to find the answers to those little problems that crop up in my day-to-day work, few (NG related) things annoy me more than finding someone else has asked exact same question as I am having problems with and received an answer 'Answered in another NG'. That is, I know that somewhere someone has an answer to my problem, but I can't always find it... it would be so helpful from my point of view if the responder to the post wrote 'Answered in your (duplicate) post in alt.stuff.stupidQuestions.' or whatever. Not having a personal go at you, you understand, just moaning about one of my pet hates... /rant Have a nice day... ;-) Chris. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message .. .

Fully understood Chris, but from our point of view, there is nothing more
frustrating than taking time to answer someone's question to later finding that person has multiple posted the question and other MVPs have answered the same question elsewhere. Why do users multiple post? If they ask a question in the CORRECT NG, it will be answered. OTOH, if a user crossposts to several newsgrpoups, then an answer get posted back to all the NGs and MARKS ALL INSTANCES AS READ so that no one wastes time reading the same question repeatedly. Like JoAnn, I don't remember in which NG I answered the question and be dammed if I am going to waste my time scrolling through again to find it. I have far better ways to waste my time. Unless, of course, you want to start paying for this service? -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "ChrisM" wrote in message ...

The person you need to be upset with is the OP who multi-posted. And a wee
bit with yourself. You could search the archives with Google Groups. And I have pet peeves too - with people who don't use the archives before they post. I've seen the same question asked and answered day after day after day. What ever happened to researching something before posting? sigh Unfortunately that situation will never go away. We have become a lazy society. Why look something up when someone else will do it for me? :-( -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "ChrisM" wrote in message ...

Word output to printer too big
Problem solved. My document had "Track Changes" turned on with lots of
changes/comments through the whole document. It somehow made things wider. I got rid of all the visible changes and comments and it prints out fine now. Thanks for all your help, JoAnne. - Brian "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...
