I Need Some Help With Margins
When I open a new document I set all the margins to Zero using Page
Setup. When I do this I get a missage saying the margins are no good and would I like to fix them. I say Fix and they are changed as follows: Top .05", Bottom .5", Left .25" and Right .25". I now type data into the document that goes from margin to margin. Now when I print the document I get another saying "the margins of section 1 are outside the printable area of the page. Do I want to continue? Yes / No". .. If I select No nothing happens and I am returned back to my document. If I select Yes the document prints and seems to look complete. If I adjust the Right margin from .25" to .26" and then print the document i no longer get the message "the margins of section 1 are outside the printable area of the page. Do I want to continue? Yes / No". Would anyone be able to explain to me what is happening here? Thanks for any and all help. |

I Need Some Help With Margins
Few printers are able to print edge-to-edge. (Very few.) They need a place
on the paper for rollers to grab the paper that does not have ink or toner on it. The non-printable area is set by the printer driver (software) and varies from printer to printer. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

(Make sure the printer you want to use is set as the default printer.) Open
Notepad. File - Page Setup. Try changing your margins to 0". It will automatically default to your printer's limitations. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "mike" wrote in message oups.com...

Are you sure about that? I've just tried the experiment with Notepad and it thinks my Epson C44's margins for A4 are 0.00mm all the way round except for the bottom one, which it thinks is 0.01mm. That's not what the Epson manual says! As you'll see from my discussion with Graham Mayor in the thread 'Border Settings for A4', I've also recently tried this with both Word and Open Office's Writer, both of which give me different defaults, neither of which are the ones given for my printer by Epson's online documentation (and therefore, I assume, contained somewhere in the printer driver). Writer's approximation to Epson's settings is a lot closer than is Word's. Steve |
