Another question from this non-techno learner!

I am producing a landscape, two fold leaflet on Word 2003 and have created
the three columns and inserted copy and photographs. BUT, I find it
difficult to
centre the copy in each of the one third sections.

I have tried adjusting left and right margins in Page Setup but still I
have two much blank spaces to the right and left of the page. The copy just
doesn't look positioned corredctly in the left and right sections when the
finished producted is folded.

Help please!

Hi Dande,

This is probably a problem with your printer. Most printers have a
printable area that is less than the full page. And to make matters
worse, the top and bottom (which in your landscape case becomes left
and right) boarders are usually different. As such, when you print
the document you often end up with things being a bit offset. It has
been so frustrating on occasion to get things to line up perfectly
that I usually end up using a print house to make the final prints as
their printers first of all can print to the edges and are all
properly calibrated.

You can try this experiment - set up all your margins to be equal (say
0.5 inches). Then draw a box that takes up the entire page. Now
print it. Are all the margins still actually 0.5 inches or are the
top and bottom (left and right in landsacpe) actually different?
