MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2004Bottom margin defaults to 2.67 inches
For some reason in Word 2002 my bottom margin can NOT be set to anything less than 2.67 inches. It returns an error and has the option to fix it, and then changes it back to 2.67 inches. The page size is 8.5 x 11 portrait. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Daryl Is this an HP printer? See http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/ for an updated driver.

I have also been experiencing this problem. I have removed drivers, reloaded, changed to different print servers...... And the problem comes back. It's ONLY with HP5000 Printers and the only thing I can remember is that it started happening when the blaster virus was hitting and we ran all the Critical updates. Since I've did EVERYTHING i can think of with the driver could this be a windows issue??? Get the "margin fix" driver from http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/index.html -- Suzanne S.

I don't see one there, so any other ideas? Thanks If there is *any* driver for LJ5000, you could try it (but search www.hp.com first). Or you could try the driver for, say, the 4000 or 4500. -- Suzanne S.

Eventually the problem is returning. This is exactly the same issue we are having with Word 2000. I think it is a printer driver issue since deleting and re-adding the printer works. >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >. I was successful at reverting my Normal.dot file to an original copy. The problem had come back even after doing this... but, then I changed the properties of the Normal.dot file to "read only" after copying from my original and have not seen the problem return. |
