Re: Print Margins in Word 2003

The original 2.67" margin problem raised in this thread is almost certainly
attributable to the printer driver - in particular some HP printers have
this problem and for those there are drivers with a fix available from HP at

1" suggests a mismatch between the paper size in page layout and in the
printer driver properties.
