How do you adjust printer margins not document margins?

Answer 1

make sure your margin in the roiginal document is set. To do so choose a blank document 8.5" x 11". By defalut every blank doc. should open so. If you go help in word and type in print margins it will prompt you the following 1. Text runs off the edge of the page. • Make sure that you selected the correct printer driver and printer. • Make sure that you selected the correct paper size by clicking Page Setup (File menu). Set a custom paper size In the Page Setup dialog box (File menu), click Custom Paper Size on the Settings pop-up menu, select the Use custom page size check box, and then enter the paper size you want. To reset margins, click Margins. Specify a smaller than standard page size For custom pages that use the Custom Paper Size setting, make sure that you've specified a size that is smaller than the standard page size provided by the printer. If you use a Custom Paper Size setting that is larger than the printer page size, text may run off the edge of the pag 2. When I print my document, some of the text is cut off. Most printers require a minimum width for margin settings, since they can't print to the edge of the page. If you try to set margins that are too narrow, Microsoft Word displays the message "One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page." To prevent text from being cut off, click Fix to automatically increase the margin width. If you ignore the message and try to print the document, Word displays another message asking whether you want to continue. You can also set the margins manually by using the ruler or the Margins tab (Format menu, Document command). Keep in mind that the minimum margin settings depend on your printer, printer driver, and paper size. To determine the minimum margin settings, check your printer manual. 3. The header or footer is missing or only partially printed. You may have placed the text in the nonprinting area of the page. Check your printer manual to see how close to the edge of the paper your printer can print. On the Format menu, click Document, and then click the Margins tab. Under From edge, enter a value that's larger than your printer's minimum margin setting. If Microsoft Word displays a message that a margin is outside the printable area of the page, click Fix. 4. Troubleshoot printing What do you need help with? When I try to print a document or envelope, nothing happens. Text that I print looks different from text on the screen. Text runs off the edge of the page. I get a blank page at the end of my printed document. The layout on my page looks wrong when I print it. When I print a master document, the wrong page numbers or headers and footers appear at the beginning of each section. The header or footer is missing or only partially printed. My printer prompts me for a paper size I don't have. The font I'm using isn't showing up in my document. Graphics aren't printed when I print my document. THE ABOVE IS HIGHLIGHTED AND YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON EVERY HIGHLIGHTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT. 5. The edge of my form is not printing. Most printers cannot print to the edge of a page. The minimum amount of space needed between the margin and the edge of the page varies by printer. Increase the margins of the form. 6. A part of the page border is not printing. Check your border margins You might have positioned your border too close to the edge of a page. Most printers cannot print to the edge of a page, especially to the bottom of the page. The minimum amount of space needed between the margin and the edge of the page varies by printer. To adjust the page border margin, click Borders and Shading on the Format menu, and then click the Page Border tab. Click Options, and then under Margin, change the settings you want. Check the distance between the page border and the edge of the page The distance between the page border and the edge of the page might place the border outside the page's printing area. To adjust the distance, click Borders and Shading on the Format menu, click the Page Border tab, and then click Options. Under Measure from, click Edge of page. Under Margin, change the settings you want. Check your page margins You might have set the page margins too close to the edge of the page. 7. About sections and section breaks This topic provides reference information about: What are sections and section breaks? Types of formats you can set for sections Types of section breaks you can insert What are sections and section breaks? You can use sections to vary the layout of a document within a page or between pages. Just insert section breaks to divide the document into sections, and then format each section the way you want. For example, format a section as a single column for the introduction of a report, and then format the following section as two columns for the report’s body text. You can also copy formatting from one section to another IF YOU MASTER THE ABOVE YOU WILL BE AN EXPERT. TRUST ME IT IS NOT EASY. IT IS FUN TO DO PRINT MARGINS. GOOD LUCK
