I use powerpoint to make invitations and the like. When I print, the
document only gets printed on one quarter of the page. Under page setup,
I've used the slides sized for letter paper and on screen show. I've changed
the width and height to 8.5 x 11, both ways. I've printed using the scale to
fit paper and without. It looks fine on the preview (but only if I select
scale to fit paper) but when it prints, it shrinks the document to cover only
1/4 of the page. Whatever I do, whatever margins I select, it only prints on
the left side - bottom portion of the page. Argh!!!!
 
Check your printer properties -- go to File/Print and then hit the
"properties" button. It sounds almost as if the printer is printing to
"invitation-sized" paper (4x6 or so).
 
That was the problem and I corrected the settings. Thanks a million E!!
