Margin changes at section break

[Guest]

I have inherited an 8 page document with the first 4 pages just text with
some .jpg images inserted, while page 5 (section break, next page - from
portrait to landscape with a section break inserted at the end of this page
to go back to portrait) the error appears "the margins in section 2 are
outside of the printing area. Would you like to fix this error or continue
printing" If I say no, the page will print (consistently) with a margin of
2.67" which cuts off either the graphic or the text. If, however, I select
the text on this page and select "print selected text" it will print
perfectly.

I have copied each individual page into a new document and it still will ask
the same question. And again, if I select file, print, scale page "zoom, 8
1/2"X 11", it will give me the same error message. I can print this page
from the existing document and from the new "copied" document if I select the
text on the page and select "file, print - selected text" it prints perfectly.

This has been driving me crazy. I know how to print the document, but it is
not "my" document so that when I send it to the approver I have to send
instructions on how to print it. This is NOT satisfactory.

I should mention that this has happened on several other documents when
another person has sent a document to the color HP laser jet printer and had
this happen, then I tell them to send it to me and it prints perfectlly for
me.

I am at wits end. Can anyone help me with this problem? Has this occured
to anyone else?

thanks all - you have always been the solution to the "pulling my hair out"
crazies!

Boy, does this bring back memories! I used to have to deal with massive documents of this type at ECG Management Corp. The consultants had reams of pages created in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, etc. and it all had to be assembled. As my short-term memory recalls, any landscape oriented pages were done separately and assembled with the landscape pages. But I think I did another document which was set up like yours and it printed out just fine. I have to really dig deep into my memory banks for this one. But I will return with an answer.

OK - perhaps this will help you - this comes from the HELP file in Word. You know, HELP (I do not use office assistant) can answer most questions people have, and I really make use of it. I think this is the definitive answer. Don't you??????

Use portrait and landscape orientation in the same document

1.. Select the pages that you want to change to portrait or landscape orientation.
2.. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab.
3.. Click Portrait or Landscape.
4.. In the Apply to box, click Selected text.
Note Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text with the new margin settings. If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a section or select multiple sections, and then change the margins.

2.67 and HP are magic terms. This is a known issue with some HP drivers.
Try using a driver from this site, it has fixed the problem for some.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This problem has been driving me crazy!
Now if I can get the IT guys to allow me to download and install the driver!

Thanks again - it's nice to know that it happened to someone else besides
me!!!!
