margins

[fran]

Since installing XP, I have had 2 noticeable changes:

1)If I receive an Excel document from an outside party,
it is cramped and unreadable and only by individually
dragging column margins can I get it to print so that
it's readable. Big drag. Why isn't my Excel
understanding the formatting of the document I'm
receiving?

2)When printing envelopes, instead of printing the return
address first, then the sender's address, it prints the
sender's address first... but worse, all my pre-formatted
envelopes produce the warning that the return address is
outside the margins for printing. And it is.

Are these two things related? Like I say, they only
occurred since upgrading from 98 to XP.

Fran you should post this in a newsgroup more appropriate for your
problem, specificially the microsoft office newsgroup.

Hunch: Root cause is the printer driver and not due to Excel or Office.
You did an upgrade and forwhatever reason the printer driver for your
printer didn't get upgraded to XP spec. Try getting an updated printer
driver from the manufacturer's web site. (or check the settings on the
current printer driver).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
