Re: Not printing to scale.



Every printer is different. What weight is the line around your boxes? Have you
factored in the points?
When you draw a box, select it, right-click, format autoshape (object), Colors
and Lines tab, uncheck *Draw border inside frame.* Measure from outside the box.
Take your file to another printer and test print. If that isn't possible save as
a PDF and measure again.
There are free PDF converters around, if you have 2007 there is a free save as
PDF add-in on the Microsoft web site.

The dimensions on my printed page are different to those on screen.

I have made up a simple page with lines and boxes that are different
dimensions and different distances apart and none of the measurement are
correct on the printed page.
The most they are out are 10mm
i cant see how this could be a margin or page size issue because everything
is in the middle of the page.

I have had a graphics designer tell me to stop using publisher because he
has known about this issue for a while. Any truth to this?

My print drivers are up to date and my page is standard a4, nothing fancy.

What can i do?

Regards
Ashley
