Hi,

I'm using Word 2003, although I think my problem affects previous versions
too.

I'm using Word to create PDF files, and I'm using the Acrobat Distiller
printer driver (*) to print a PostScript file for subsequent conversion to
PDF. The printer driver has the imageable area set to the entire page, so it
should be possible to print right to the edge of the page.

(* I get the same problem using the GhostScript printer driver)

Despite this, if I try to print a document whose margins are set to zero all
round, I get the dreaded "The margins are set outside the printable area"
message. I don't think they *are* set outside the printable area, since the
printable area is the entire page. Zero margins should be acceptable.

If I add tiny (0.1cm) right and bottom margins, the message goes away.
Apparently I can have zero left & top margins.

Is there any way around this? Is it just a bug in Word?

Thanks,
Gary McGill
