The person you need to be upset with is the OP who multi-posted. And a
wee bit with yourself. You could search the archives with Google Groups.

True, but on more than occasion, I've found the reference to the answer
being in another NG, but not actually been able to find it, and yes, I do
use Google Groups. I guess there is no answer to this one,


And I have pet peeves too - with people who don't use the archives before
they post. I've seen the same question asked and answered day after day

However, as someone that frequently uses NGs to find the answers to
those little problems that crop up in my day-to-day work, few (NG
related) things annoy me more than finding someone else has asked exact
same question as I am having problems with and received an answer
'Answered in another NG'. That is, I know that somewhere someone has an
answer to my problem, but I can't always find it... it would be so
helpful from my point of view if the responder to the post wrote
'Answered in your (duplicate) post in alt.stuff.stupidQuestions.' or
whatever.

Not having a personal go at you, you understand, just moaning about one

Hi,

I've got an HP Officejet T65 printer. In Word it shows the width of
my text as 4.5 inches, but when I print it out the width measures
out to more like 5 inches (just under 5 inches). I'm using the HP
Officejet T Series printer driver.

The strange thing is, if I get it to print directly as a PDF file,
it outputs the file as 5 inches (slightly larger than 5 inches
actually).

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

- Brian

Oooh! Never really thought of doing that...

Doh!!

I find that's the easiest way to find a post. If it doesn't work, you can
try searching by the topic, assuming *that's* the same.

If all you and I have accomplished is teaching people a new way to search
the archives, we've still done a good deed. :-)

Not at all. We get accustomed to doing a task one way and we never seem to
explore other methods. I get kidded about being able to find anything on the
web. One of those reasons is because I am willing to try various search
terms. Perhaps our interaction will have opened other people's eyes. Ô¿Ô

Problem solved. My document had "Track Changes" turned on with lots of
changes/comments through the whole document. It somehow made things wider. I
got rid of all the visible changes and comments and it prints out fine now.
Thanks for all your help, JoAnne.
