[yellowhouse1976]

Hi Terry

It is still playing up and I am rapidly losing the will to live.

I have done what you suggested. The document is set up as 'letter' in Page
SetUp. I have 'letter' size paper in the bypass tray of the printer and I
have changed the printer setting to compensate. When I check the Print
Preview it all looks fine but when I print the footer is being cut in two and
the header is much bigger than it should be. I have fiddled around with the
header and footer measurements but it doesnt seem to make any difference or
correlate with what I see on the screen. Even weirder the pages that are
landscape are as they should be. It is only the portrait pages which are not
behaving as required.

I have made sure I have uncheck 'letter resizing' as well so that it does
not conflict.

Any other suggestions before lose the plot

Thanks

Hi Terry

nearly there. I have sorted the footers but the headers are still playing
up. Am going to continue tomorrow. Thanks for the help. Excruciating is
definitely the right word

IIRC, it is under Print Options in Word 2003.

But if you have changed your paper to Letter under Page Setup and you
have
Letter paper in the printer, you just need to set Letter in the Printer
Properties. Then check in Print Preview to what the printed document
should
look like when printed. If the Footer is too close to the page bottom,
then
adjust the Footer Margin in Page Setup. Ditto with the Headers.

But perhaps your problem is that you have the A4/Letter resizing enabled
and
it is conflicting with your attempts to manually create a Letter sized
document. SO make sure that option is unchecked and that the paper size
is
set to Letter on the Printer, in Print Setup and in Page Setup in Word.
(I
guess that 'excruciating' is not a bad description of your task!)

Hi Terry

I am using Office 2003 with SP3.

Maybe I did not explain properly. I have no choice but to print the
document
on 'letter' as this is what my client in the US wants me to do. It's a
long
and boring story but the bottom line is I have no choice.

The orginal document was obviously set up in A4 being that I work in
the
UK.
When i was told i needed to print on 'letter' I made second version of
the
document so that it was seperate from my orginal A4 version.

I have tried printing from the A4 version and scaling it to 'letter'
through
the printer settings but that doesnt work properly either.

Where is this 'scale content for 8.5 x 11" paper size' option that you
mention please?

Thanks

You should have come here first. You don't say which version of Word
you
are
using, but the last few versions have all had 'Scale content for A4 or
8.5 x
11" paper sizes' (or similar wording). Sourcing Letter size paper and
doing
what you are attempting sound excruciating. All you need is to set
that
option (which should be by default) and print to A4 stock.

Hi

Help needed please. I am in the UK and normally only work with UK
A4
documents. I have to print some manuals on the US Letter size paper
which
I
understand is 8.5" x 11". I have sourced some paper and I
re-formatted
the
document to 'letter size' but it just wont print properly. I have
made
sure
that the printer is set to 'letter size' as well.

The bottom footer is really close the bottom of the page and headers
on
the
ladscape pages keep being cut off. I have played around with the
margins
and
headers and footer measurements but it still wont print properly.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
