Margins set outside printable area of the page issue- Word 2003
I have a document that will be used to print a large page on a Staples
Kyocera continuous roll printer. I've set a page width of 22". Unfortunately Word won't allow me to go beyond 22" width and a 22" depth. First question: is this a hard limit? Is there a way to go to 24" and continuous? The document has multiple sections, some of which are multiple columns. It looks fine in Normal view, but in Print Preview the page is truncated in from the left, right, and bottom. I've installed the Kyocera printer driver and have it selected as my default printer. I've set the page size in Page Setup, Layout, Advanced to 24" x 36". I've gone into the Print dialog and set the properties of the printer to the same page size. When I try to exit Page Setup, Layout with OK, I get the following error message dialog box: Microsoft Office Word One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page. Choose the Fix button to increase the appropriate margins. Fix Ignore If Fix is clicked, the left and right margins are shifted from 2" to 5.35" and the bottom margin is shifted to 5.65". If you ignore the changes (which I absolutely don't want), on a print preview and a print (even to a PDF file), the left and right sides of the page are truncated. Apparently this is one of the dreaded problems that happen in Word. I've seen reference to a columns bug. None of the few suggestions posted seem to work or be workable in this case. Searching for the error message contents in the Microsoft Knowledge Base gives no results. Second question: What can I do to fix this problem? |

Word's limitation of 22" in either direction is absolute. Publisher or Excel
can print to larger paper. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Mike Trahan" wrote in message ...

Margins set outside printable area of the page issue- Word 200
I had been sending an Excel spreadsheet to a particular printer every week
for months. I decided to add some extended annotations, so I copied the spreadsheet to Word. When I printed it on letter sized paper, I got the above error, and all but a small 3.65 x 4.6 inch area was truncated (left justified, mind you). Other printers did just fine. When I scaled it to A4 (I'm using letter, but letter is not an option), it worked. I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2003 sending to a networked Sharp copier. I guess I assumed that Word and Excel would have the same print capabilities. I sure would never have guessed that Word would be more limited. |
