Need help printing page borders
I recently relocated and am looking for a job. I transferred all my resumes
from my floppies to a USB flash disk which would be better in my situation. Unfortunately I am still using Office98 on my ibook G4 with Tiger. Whenever I print (and in this case I must print to a ps file and fax with FaxStf X). It always complains about my fancy border I have on each of my resumes, cover letters, ref lists. As a result the page border is clipped. This can be a huge problem, as the page border is there to make my Resume stand out. I'd love to buy Office X and since it supports the FaxSTF drivers I could fax directly, but since I am low on budget at this time I have to live with Office98. Is there a way to fix this so that when Word 98 saves my resumes to a ps file and OSX opens these files I can see the border?

The problem has nothing to do with your version of Word. Word, when it
prints, clips the page image to fit within the margins specified by the printer driver. Check the driver properties to see if these are adjustable for the print method you are using. But speaking as an employer who looks at a lot of resumes, I can tell you, you're wasting your time. Page borders do not make a resume 'stand out' in any way that increases your likelihood of getting the job. "John the Baptist Jr." wrote in message ... I recently relocated and am looking for a job.

Version makes no/or very little difference, John. See if the information at
this article helps you: http://www.officearticles.com/word/t...osoft_word.htm I don't know about printing to PS files...but perhaps it follows your current printer driver settings. ************ Hope it helps!

I guess every employer is different, just like every person is different.
Some prefer resumes on resume paper, and some could care less. Some like page borders, and some can care less. Page borders has helped out in the past with some employers but not with others.

Need help printing page borders
I appreciate the advice but there are some problems.
"The other common problem (particularly on the Macintosh) is that you are formatting the document for a printer that is different to the one you are actually sending the document to." Yes this is my situation and really not my fault. For some reason the HP DeskJet 840C classic printer driver under OSX is different than the printer driver under OS 8-9. However the OSX printer driver is the real printer. Yes I can print within classic, but I do not have all the options and features that I did when I owned my Performa 6360 under OS 9.1. I believe the fix would be to upgrade to Office X, but I cannot afford such an upgrade at this time. So the workaround would be to cut the page borders (some employers like them and others could care less) or post this question in the OSX apple forums. John "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

You're missing the point. Either move the border *up* to fit within the
printer's limits; or reset the printer driver if possible. Or just go and sulk. "It doesn't work and it's 'really not my fault'" goes some way to explain why you've so much experience looking for employment. "John the Baptist Jr." wrote in message ...
