I must have missed something when downloading/installing the update you recommended so I'll give it another try this evening. I forgot to mention that Vista is my operating system. Hopefully it's user error and not the operating system causing the problem. Thanks Again! "Mary Sauer" wrote: I believe she said she was working in 2007.

Haven't really found another thread that works...I am trying to put together a simple sign with .3" margins, well above my printer's minimums. It's in landscape, 11 x 8.5. The screen looks fine, but Print Preview and actual printing lops off about 1/2 inch from the right hand side. Left side prints OK even though text lies outside the blue margin-lines. I've done page options, set the margins, tried copy-and-paste into a new document, getting rid of footers, blah blah blah...Same thing all the time. What is going on, and how can I fix it? |

Bruce, What are your printer's margin limitations? When you print landscape the
right side will be the largest margin. Look he Tutorial: Finding your Maximum Print Area http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/horidiag Can I toss something in here about items cutting-off in Publisher?

Hi Mary - Thanks for getting back to me. I will try that. If I don't sign
back on and whine some more, you'll know it worked. Thanks! "Mary Sauer" wrote: Bruce, What are your printer's margin limitations? When you print landscape the right side will be the largest margin.
