I am using a PowerPoint slide to develop a
flyer/brochure. When I print the slide the page margins
are not even. The left margin is 1/4" and the right one
is 3/4". Is there no way to fix this? There are no
margin options on a slide that I can find.

Margins are wrong, printout is off-center, I don't want any margins

Hello,

PowerPoint always prints the slide area centered in the printable area for
the printer (defined by the print driver, not by PowerPoint). If that print
area is not centered on the page (uneven margins) then the slide area will
also print not centered.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide some kind of margin control (within contstraints of printer, or
course) and/or an option to print the slide centered on the page instead of
centered in the printable area, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR
OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
