One or more margins are outwith the printable page
Our GFI Faxmaker service is printing .rtf documents through to the Faxmaker
print driver as a service and occasionally comes accross a document with 'One or more margins are outwith the printable page' as it's the service thats controlling it, there is no warning box displayed and hence no buttons to allow the process to continue. This causes the whole process to hang and the faxserver falls over. Can anyone offer any advice of a fix or workaround that we are missing? Kind thanks in advance. Colin |

Just some suggestions:
1. Can you set the Word Application object's DisplayAlerts property? e.g. Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone Does that make any difference? 2. Can you programmatically inspect the page layout properties in ActiveDocument.PageSetup and, for example, reject documents whose page size and/or margins do not match your fax print driver's settings (or perhaps even programmatically adjust the driver settings to suit) ? 3. (never tried it, but could be worth investingating...) If you are using Office 2003, you could consider printing to the Microsoft Office Document Imaging printer driver - it does not seem to care what page size or margins were specified in Word, so the print should always work. Then you can automate the MODI object to inspect it and/or print it. If any of the above work for you, can you please let us know? Peter Jamieson "Colin Graham" wrote in message ...

Thinking about it again, suggestion (3) is highly unlikely to work in a
merge-to-fax operation. Peter Jamieson "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ... Just some suggestions: 1.
