Unwanted large left margin when printing booklets in Word

[Guest]

I am using Word 2003 SP1 with Windows XP and a Laserjet 4V. I want to print
a booklet using 8.5" x 5.5" half-sheets - ending with a booklet of 4.25" x
5.5". When I set my page up this way it appears fine, but when I print, all
of my text prints shifted to the right approximately 1" too far, so pages 1 &
3 run off the page, and pages 2 & 4 print through the fold.

If I set my paper size to be 8.5" x 11", it prints out fine, but I'd rather
have the smaller size. I'd also rather not copy my text twice onto the 8.5"
x 11" paper and then cut it.

Any ideas

Check the requirements of your printer. Many printers have a built in
margin they use to ensure that the printer can properly pull the paper
through it.
