Re: Is there a way to define print offsets?



Hi guyeda,

This isn't something controlled by Word, but by your printer's configuration. If you check the Printer properties (either through Word's print menu or via the Windows Control Panel), you may find a setting that allows you to define the print offsets. I doubt it, though. Probably either or both of the printers need some maintenance - or at least the paper trays adjusted properly.

Cheers

I'm printing a thesis that requires some pretty precise print formatting
(reviewers literally measure margins with a ruler!) I need to print the
document on two printers: one for the black/white text pages and one for the
color pages. The problem is that the two printers have slightly different
print characteristics. The color printer prints slightly lower and to the
left and the black/white one prints far enough to the right to have
flush-right text fall within the right margin when printed out. Back in the
day, this was common and there were settings you could define that could
correct for these discrpeancies, but I can't seem to find them in Word 2003.
