MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2004"margins outside printable area" are not
I get an e-mailed Word document on a weekly basis. It is a tabular form. When I try to print it this message comes up: "The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?" Thing is, they are not. The document is just fine as it appears on the screen (and two other documents from the same source with the same format and margins prints just fine with no such alert message). If I say "yes", it cuts off the top two lines and puts the third line at the extreme top of the sheet. (Top margin setting is 2 picas, so effectively it loses four lines). As a workaround, I just push the top of the document down four lines, but if it is a full page then I lose the bottom of the sheet. None of the (very obvious) items undeer the "help" button apply. This same situation existed last year on the same document but with a different computer on my end. The same message appears when I try a different printer. It is an error inherent in the document. How do I repair the document so it prints exactly as it appears on the screen? Hi, Sounds like you are using a HP printer. I get the same problem. It was answered here once as follows: There is a known conflict between Word 2002 and the HP drivers for some LaserJets that is characterized by the 2.67" margin. The "margin fix" drivers at http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/index.html reportedly solve the problem (and are available for the LJ 4000). I haven't tried this myself yet but I have heard that the drivers are the issue. Good luck.

Yes, it may be printer- specific. The problem is on a Panasonic KX-P2130 (dot matrix, which I use for most of my printing needs). I tested on my Epson Stylus 600 (which I use only when I need color) and my wife's Epson Stylus CX6400. The 600 generated the same error message but the printout was just fine. The CX6400 printed the page with no error message. (I do a LOT of black-and-white printing; ribbons are cheaper than ink cartridges). Even if I change margins in the page setup, it still cuts off the top four lines, it just starts printing lower down on the page. The oddity is that I get three documents every week from the same source using the same format, but only one of the three exhibits the problem. The other two print just fine. I still think there is something in the page formatting that causes the problem. Ideally I'd like to know what to change in the formatting that would fix it. However, this may be a Panasonic problem and not a Word problem so if you know a Panasonic link that would be a place to ask, that would be welcome. >-----Original Message----- >Hi, [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >http://www.kutchka.com/products/producthealthcheck.asp >. |
