I have a problem with margins that happens frequently, but not consistently.
Using File, Page Setup, I ask it to set all margins to 1.5". It gives the
message "One or more margins...." and when I select fix, it sets the bottom
margin to 2.67". I know that the margins can be dictated by the printer
driver, but the 1.5" margins works 95% of the time and the printer is always
the same. Why is this happening? What can I do to get 1.5" margins for an
8.5x11 page?

The 2.67" margin is typical of a bug in the driver for certain HP LaserJets.
If you can get around the problem by restarting Word or Windows, then do
that. Otherwise, try one of the drivers from
