Mass change of Margins

[Guest]

Hello,

Here's the story. I have about 500 separate Word documents that are used as
labels. These are set to 4" x 6" within Page Setup. Some of these have a .25"
margin, while others have as low as .1" margins. These printed fine on a
label printer that we had. However, we are now printing these on a separate
printer and have started noticing a lot of these documents "cutting off" text
at the bottom. Especially those with a very small margin.

Instead of manually going in and re-doing all 500 of these Word documents is
there any way someone can think of that would make this painless so that it
increases the margin on the print and ensures that nothing is cut off?

PS: This printer is only a 4" wide print head so it's not a standard printer.

You could use a modification of the code in the article "Find & ReplaceAll
on a batch of documents in the same folder" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm

to modify the margins in each document.
