Last line is cut in half
I have the same problem...and HP also told me it was Word 2007 fault.
As a work a-round I have found that if you change the font color (even go up a shade of black), the doc prints fine.

Last line is cut in half
I have the same problem on my wifes computer. The Last line prints half
vertically. So the bottom have of the letters are gone. But I print the same thing from my computer using the same printer it prints fine. On the computer that the has this problem it is in word 07 a regular text document the print will be correct. However if I print in a .XPS format the problem is still there. I print in a .PDF format and everything is fine. There is a driver issue somewhere. The wife says this started maybe 3 weeks ago for her. "Charley Thomas" wrote: Bob, I often save various items as pdf's to post on a club web site. I don't recall ever having the pdf's print incorrectly. They always print just as they should even when the page is really full as in flyers. The problem really seems to be isolated to printing from word 07. I print from excell and access and don't recall any problems there either. I have an earlier version of word. I think it is compatable with vista. Perhaps I will install it and see if it prints better. Sure would hate to have to revert to an earlier version of a program I spent the bucks on though!!

There are some odd issues from HP Photosmart printer drivers and Word 2007. =============== "Charley Thomas" wrote in message ... Thanks for the link. I looked at it and non of those issues come into play here. Even if I print a document that ends 2 inchs up from the bottom of the page it still only prints the top half of the line. "What did I expect them to say?", well I didn't really think they would just jump in and say "your printer is f'd" but I was hoping for a better suggestion than contact microsoft! Even still, I think it may be a microsoft issue. Like I said before, if I scan a full page document it prints all of it, all the way down to the bottom edge of the page that is about 1/4 inch up. But write a letter to dear old sis and I better be sure that the last line on the page doesn't contain anything important because she is gonna have to guess at it. -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

Some HP printers apparently don't work well together with Word. Updating the
printer driver should improve the situation. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dorothy" wrote in message ... Charley: I am having this exact same problem and it is driving me NUTS!

Solution
Here is what I did. I made one extra line after I was done typing. On that
extra line I typed just a couple of letters, and then made them white so that it wouldn't show. Through that it cuts half the inisible line off, so no errors. Its kind of a nuisance but its I could think of. |

Actual Solution
Nevermind my last post. I found an easy solution that fixed mine. I went to
regedit and navigated to HKCU/Software/Office/12.0/Word/Data There should be a key named settings. Delete that key. When word opens next it will recreate that key. It seems as though word messes up those settings. The newly created settings should be fine. My brother's word would keep crashing and not open at all. We had to do this also. I don't know what is wrong with this key but whatever. |

Word 2000 with an HP 6500 "All In One" does the exact same thing. I found a

Last line is cut in half
I had the same problem Charley. I accessed the the cite that CyberTaz
suggested: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...sDontPrint.htm Here's my suggestion: Type your documents with a 1" margin (the default "Normal" margin). If you do not have a second page, create a fake page 2 with a few characters. on the top line. -Before printing, print preview the document. -Follow the directions in the above link to get to the Page Setup dialog box. -Leave the top, left and right magins at 1". -Reduce the bottom margin until the first line from page 2 begins to show in the print preview at about .6". -Then, back the bottom setting up to .7" to hide the page 2 text from the first page in the print preview. -Now the page should print properly without cutting the last of text in half.

The problem isn't unusual, though it isn't necessarily anyone's "fault".
