margins not working

[Guest]

i set the print margins, which are different for all my reports, through the
page setup in print preview. then i save the reports. when i exit the
database and reopen it the options i have saved are not working properly. for
certain reports i have to reset the print margins. why is this happening?

i have noticed the problem appears with certain databases i have created,
not with all my databases. would could be the problem?

i need your advise!

This could be due to Name AutoCorrect:

To fix the problem:
1. Uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect

2. Compact the database to get rid of this junk:
Tools | Database Utilities | Compact/Repair

This particular issue was addressed in one of the service packs, so if these
steps solve your problem, it would be a good idea to go to:

and download the latest service pack for your version of Office, plus (and
most importantly) the service pack for JET (linked from the same page.)
