Publisher banners
We are using Publisher 2002 to print banners to a HP 130nr printer. This
printer has a 150 ft. roll of paper attached to the back. The banner was originally 72 inches long with 6 inches in the front and 18 inches of blank paper at the end. We figured if we made the banner 60 inches it would get rid of 12 inches from the end leaving the text centered on the paper with 6 blank inches in the front and end of the banner...not so, it took the 6 inches off the front and left the back with 12 inches of blank paper. Even though the text is centered according to Publishers guides it will not print centered on the paper. As a test we tried PowerPoint and didn't have a problem so we know it isn't the printer. How can I get this to work in Publisher since this is the application we have to use. Thanks in advance.

Any page longer than 48" gets printed in sections; this might be the cause of your problem (I can't visualise it so can't work out exactly what is going wrong). -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org

It is 60 inches but isn't printing in sections. It is printing in one
continuous line of text with no breaks. Which is fine that's what we want. What we don't want is a lot of blank space after the text. The printer will cut the banner for us at the 60 inches we specify but Publisher won't center the text within the 60 inches even though we have lined it up to the vertical and horizontal guides. So now we have a banner that starts the text at the far left leaving all the blank space at the end. "Ed Bennett" wrote: Ann wrote: We are using Publisher 2002 to print banners to a HP 130nr printer.

I tried to go through the instructions you supplied but could not get past
step 6. After selecting the DesignJet printer and clicking "Properties" there is no "Paper Size" tab so I can not click on "Fit to this page" and then go to "More Sizes". I also couldn't find in the "Help" how to get to this option. Why don't I see this tab? I also couldn't find the "Application Page Size" in step 9. There is a Custom setting for the paper size but that is what we used originally.

Have you thought about inquiring at HP's support? They have wonderful support
documents. http://h41186.www4.hp.com/country/us...pageseq=202212 The article I referred you to is the only information I have on the large format Design Jets. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Ann" wrote in message ...

I tried HP first thinking it was the printer but didn't find anything that
would help. Then when we used PowerPoint and it centered correctly it seemed to be a Publisher problem. "Mary Sauer" wrote: Have you thought about inquiring at HP's support?
