Changing paper sizes causes error.

[SOcalla3]

I am using Word 2003 with XP professional, 2002, SP2. The printer is a Kyocera
KM-1815. When printing an Avery label, #5202, which is a 4" X 6" page with
seven 3 7/16" X 11/16" labels, everything is ok. If I then start or load a
different document with a full size sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper, the print
preview proportions are not correct. The 4" X 6" format is not reset back to an
8 1/2" X 11" paper size. When you go to page setup, it does say 8 1/2" X 11"
but when you try to print it, you get an error message: "The margins of section
1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?" If
you answer yes, it then resets the margins back to 4" X 6". One way to correct
this problem is to close Word including Outlook and restart both programs. Is
there a better way to fix this problem? Please note that the problem only
happens if the actual 4" X 6" page was initially printed.

Thanks for your reply.

G'day (e-mail address removed) (SOcalla3),

try reselecting your printer in the print dialog and see if that helps
- word does some tricky banging on your printer driver to achieve the
labelling
