Paper size 5.5 " x 8.5" Word 2000 and Windows XP

I bought a new pc about 5 months ago which has Windows XP. I installed my
Word 2000 on it on had from my last pc which ran Windows 98. When I try to
print 5.5" x 8.5" documents to my Lexmark Z51, I get a message that the
margines of section 1 are outside the printable area of the page. I have
downloaded two drivers from Lexmark for XP and I get this messgae on both.
The page setup on the document and the paper size within Lexmark are set to
the size I am trying to print.
I am able to print a 5.5 x 8.5 document from Microsoft Works Word Processor,
so the problem seems to be related to Word 2000 and Windows XP.
One thing that is different between Windows 98 and Windows XP in Word 2000
is that there is a paper size called Statement under Windows 98 that is not
there under WIndows XP. What is strange is that while statement size does
not show as a option under page setup, if you go into system tools and open
up system information and display application Word with a 5.5 x 8.5 document
opened, it says that the paper size is statement and show it as 5.5 x 8.5.
Does anyone have an idea how I can print these documents out. They have
been setup under Word and I lose all the formatting if I open them up in
Microsoft Works.
Thanks,
Jim

The choice of paper sizes Word offers is dependent on your printer driver.
