Default printing wrong margins

The letterhead is preprinted; we set it on the printer and print onto it. It
is not in the word doc. THus we adjust the margins to fit the letterhead.

Even if I just print on plain paper and the margins are at default, text
still prints on the very top of the page. If i hit 'enter' and move it down,
it shows in print preview as being in the middle of the page. However, when
printed it still is at the very top.

I use the same printer on my computer with Word 2007 and have no issues, so
I know it is not the printer.

Should I re=install word? I don't know if i have the product key to do this
or how to even reinstall without having to repurchase!

Very difficult to understand without seeing it. When you say 'right on the
very top', am I correct in understanding that the text of the main body is
printing over the top of the Letterhead?

But I don't understand why you changed margins or and other settings. Just
open the legacy document in Word 2007 and it should look identical. Why do
you need redesign the layout? Do you not have a template with the letterhead
and layout already prepared? How did you do this in your previous version of
Word?

Hi there,

I set up a new version of office 2007 and used word for the first time
today. I used it in the past on the SAME EXACT printer but a different
computer. So I had to install a brand new copy on my new computer with a
different user code, etc. I created custom margins so the document will
print
in the middle of the page to fit our letterhead. However it will only
print
the text informtion on the top. It is centered right (i.e. the left and
right
margins are correct) but the text ALWAYS prints right on the very top.
This
happened with labels as well, i.e. when I need to print a label I type in
the
address usually toward the bottom and it always prints at the top on my
label
sheet. Again, the left and right margins are correct, but the text
entered
(no margin adjustment made on the labels) does not print toward the bottom
of
the page. Any help here?
