How do I get margins to set accurately in a long document?
Page set-up works fine in a letter but I have a long A4 document of 200 pages
and I've set left and right at 2.5 cm plus a left gutter of 1cm 'in whole document'. But Print View shows a wider right margin and also in a printed page both margins are wider than I've specified. Additionally, the page shows in Print View as a short page and prints with a lot of space empty at the bottom. I use Office 2003 and I've checked paragraphing is not indented. I have many Section breaks. What can I do? Or is it some kind of bug? -- Mary |

The problem could be that you have set the paper size to _A4_ in the Page
Setup dialog box but that _Letter_ is selected in Print Properties Layout tab Advanced button Paper/Output. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "MaryG" wrote: Page set-up works fine in a letter but I have a long A4 document of 200 pages and I've set left and right at 2.5 cm plus a left gutter of 1cm 'in whole document'.

Most likely your document contains "markup" (tracked changes or comments),
and Word is allowing extra margin space for the "balloons." -- Suzanne S.
