Print Margins in Word 2003
I don't understand why changing the paper size to A4 would work. My printer
does not have that size paper therefore it will not print unless I override by hitting the print button on the printer. This seems more like a work around anwser rather than a fix. Of course, it's better than I could come up with. Is this possibly a bug in Word? Need help, Alan "Jack" wrote: I am curious as to why you changed the paper size to A4 isntead of letter. Will that not mees with the other documents you are printing. Ok, i jsut looked and looks like I can chagne it for the doscument. But that would mean that the person will need to change it for each document they have, not efficent. The reason I am asking these questions is that I ahve the same issue but with Word 2000.

I am also having the same problem and its driving me mad! I have tried
absolutely everything to fix it!On mine, it will not print anything beow about an inch from the bottom of the page. Also, any text within that inch does not show up in the print preview. My problem is within the whole of windows, meaning whatever application i try and print from. Even when i print from Internet Explorer, the line which shows the address of the page prints not at the bottom of the page, but an inch upwards. Can anyone help me? This is driving me mad, and with 2 businesses running, it is making me insane. Please Please Please can someone help me? "Alan" wrote: I don't understand why changing the paper size to A4 would work.

The only solution is to get a different (better) driver for your current
printer or get a different (better) printer that will print closer to the bottom of the page. -- Suzanne S.

The original 2.67" margin problem raised in this thread is almost certainly
attributable to the printer driver - in particular some HP printers have this problem and for those there are drivers with a fix available from HP at http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/ 1" suggests a mismatch between the paper size in page layout and in the printer driver properties. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org mitov wrote: I am also having the same problem and its driving me mad!
