Check Your Margins

Select New Margins
Select a different margin size, such as "Narrow," which indicate 1/2-inch margins, or "Wide," which indicate one-inch margins on the top and bottom and two-inch margins on the left and right. You also can select "Moderate," which indicate one-inch margins on the top and bottom and 3/4-inch margins on the left and right. Finally, you can select "Mirrored," which indicates one-inch margins for the top, bottom and outside. The inside margins are set at 1 1/4 inches.

Hi

By spacing, I assume you mean the margins at the centre.

The default margin settings are not the same for the right and left hand side of the page, so the printing on the reverse side is offset from the printing on the first side.

The right margin is always wider to allow for punch holes in file paper.

It is not the printer settings you need to adjust, it is the page layout of your word processing software.

Adjust the margin settings manually. In MS Office 2007:

Page Layout > Margins > Mirrored Margins.

Hope this helps.

If you are preparing to print a document that you have created in Microsoft Word, you may be concerned that all the text on the page will print exactly as you see it on your screen. This is not always the case. You can adjust your print margins to ensure that your text prints on each page exactly the way you would like it to appear.

Finally, you can select "Mirrored," which indicates one-inch margins for the top, bottom and outside. The inside margins are set at 1 1/4 inches.

Print Your Page
Print your page. Press "Control" plus the "P" button. The printer dialog menu will come up. Make sure that "All Pages in Range" is selected. Press "OK." If your printer cannot print your new margins, then a new menu will pop up telling you to adjust your margins.

I hope you find it very helpful. Best regards.

Hi,
The default paper selection/ size in MS Word is 'letter'. you may have designed the document on letter size and while printing you have A4 size paper in the printer.
So, Make sure that you design the document on the same paper size (such as A4, which is commonly used). Secondly, while printing don't print the document directly. From the Print dialogue option choose the exact paper size and un-check (de-select) any option of paper resizing (if available). You will have the documents printed exactly as designed.

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

you need to reset the margins , top bottom and sides in the printer settings , not on the document page

The problem may lie in the printers setting for the margins. Do you set the margins only in word 2007 or do you check the printers margins too?

Also the issue may lie with the printer having the incorrect paper size

Have a look in the printer properties (When you go to print, its beside the printer selected) and look through there and see if there are any issues.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
The portion within the Margins can only be printed, lessen the top margin at bit.
I remember the top margin for default is 1', change it to 0.5' or 0.6'

In Office < 2007 (Margins are in File > Page Setup)
In Office 2007 (Margins are in Page Layout > Margins > Set it to Narrow)

Note: If you printer is non-Laser (I mean if it is Ink-Jet) Do not make the margins too less, the printer won't be able to print it.

In 'Print Preview' look at the margins, and see if anything is too close to the edge of the paper. If it is, then set your margins further from the edge, or drag graphics further from the edge, etc.

To correct the margins that are set to close to the edge of the paper, open the document in Microsoft Word and follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you are using the same printer driver that gave you the error in Microsoft Word Viewer.
2. In Word, on the File menu, click Page Setup.
3. Click OK.
   
   You receive a warning dialog box about the unprintable regions.
4. Click the Fix button.
5. Save and close the document.

You can now open and print the document in Word Viewer without receiving the error message.

Go to the printer properties and try setting it up with border less printing.

Cheers
