legal printing in Microsoft Word '00

[Guest]

I'm trying to print a legal size document in MS Word '00. However, it won't
print past a letter size doc. Page Setup is set to legal (and the dimensions
are correct), my margins are all at 1" but when I go to close, a diaologe
box appears stating that one of the margins is out of the printable area and
do I want to fix it. If I select "yes" then the bottom margin automatically
sets to 3.38" Even in the preview the whole doc does not appear, and there
is no second page. Even when I go to print, under "Zoom" "scale to paper
size" I select legal and it still doesn't print correctly. Any ideas . . . ?

You will need to go to your printer setup (the one outside of MS Word) to
make sure that the printer will accept a Legal size document page. Create a
test document from a Letter sized document, of at least three pages long (I
used a 10 page document), and see if you can change the Page Setup to Legal
size. Then, pull up your printer properties dialog, and change the paper
size to Legal. Save the document. Now try to print just the first two or
three pages. Since I don't know which printer you're using, your results
maybe different than mine. My Legal sized pages printed out without
difficulty (even though I don't have any legal size printer paper; it took 4
Letter sized pages to print 2 Legal sized pages). The next thing to check is
your printer driver; probably for an update.
