WORD 2008 Page Border not square

[grumpy old trout]

After considerable testing we have determined that the page border feature in
Word 2008 has the following problem. It is not square. You don't notice on
the screen so much but you do when printing. We have measured and
remeasured. We have compared it to the same border previously printed in
word 2007 and XP and 2004, which are square or close enough.

How can we get this fixed?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the link. I did post it there and will look there for Mac
answers in the future. By the way, I found out if I took the same document I
created in Word 2008 and printed it in word 2004 it displayed and printed
correctly, i.e., square. Weird, huh?

Are you printing on the *same* printer? This sounds like poor paper handling
by the printer.

We thought that at first also. But, yes... we used the same printer. In
fact, we took the document created in Word 2008 and opened it in 2004 and
printed it to the same printer and from the same computer with the same
printer driver and it was square. We also started with fresh documents in
Word 2008 and the page borders were not square. Page borders in documents
created in Word 2004 were square. It is visible to the eye and definitely
clear when a right angle is put to the page.
