Word output to printer too big

[Brian Bagnall]

Hi,

I've got an HP Officejet T65 printer. In Word it shows the width of my text
as 4.5 inches, but when I print it out the width measures out to more like 5
inches (just under 5 inches). I'm using the HP Officejet T Series printer
driver.

The strange thing is, if I get it to print directly as a PDF file, it
outputs the file as 5 inches (slightly larger than 5 inches actually).

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

And this is why you should not post the same question in multiple
newsgroups. To be honest with you, I rarely pay attention to specifically
which of the Word newsgroups a question is located. I use OE and am
subscribed to 4 Word newsgroups and 10 others.

Ok,

Point taken, but please note that I am neither the OP of this message, or
someone that usually multi-posts...

<rant>
However, as someone that frequently uses NGs to find the answers to those
little problems that crop up in my day-to-day work, few (NG related) things
annoy me more than finding someone else has asked exact same question as I
am having problems with and received an answer 'Answered in another NG'.
That is, I know that somewhere someone has an answer to my problem, but I
can't always find it... it would be so helpful from my point of view if the
responder to the post wrote 'Answered in your (duplicate) post in
alt.stuff.stupidQuestions.' or whatever.

Not having a personal go at you, you understand, just moaning about one of
my pet hates...

Fully understood Chris, but from our point of view, there is nothing more
frustrating than taking time to answer someone's question to later finding
that person has multiple posted the question and other MVPs have answered
the same question elsewhere.

Why do users multiple post? If they ask a question in the CORRECT NG, it
will be answered. OTOH, if a user crossposts to several newsgrpoups, then an
answer get posted back to all the NGs and MARKS ALL INSTANCES AS READ so
that no one wastes time reading the same question repeatedly.

Like JoAnn, I don't remember in which NG I answered the question and be
dammed if I am going to waste my time scrolling through again to find it. I
have far better ways to waste my time. Unless, of course, you want to start
paying for this service?

[ChrisM]

Fair enough Terry. I think we both understand the problem from both sides. I
guess there is nothing much that can be done, except as you say, trying to
encourage people to only post to a single NG, or at least crosspost rather
than multi-posting.

No, I don't want to start paying, though I do appreciate the efforts of
those that answer questions here (and other NGs).
If I paid consultant rates for all the questions I've ever had answered in
NGs over the years, goodness knows how much it would have cost me...
OTOH, if I got PAID consultant rates for all the times I've ever answered
someone elses questions, I'd have probably earned myself a fairly tidy
sum... ;-))

Cheers,

Chris.

The person you need to be upset with is the OP who multi-posted. And a wee
bit with yourself. You could search the archives with Google Groups.

And I have pet peeves too - with people who don't use the archives before
they post. I've seen the same question asked and answered day after day
after day. What ever happened to researching something before posting?
<sigh> Unfortunately that situation will never go away. We have become a
lazy society. Why look something up when someone else will do it for me?

Not at all. We get accustomed to doing a task one way and we never seem to
explore other methods. I get kidded about being able to find anything on the
web. One of those reasons is because I am willing to try various search
terms. Perhaps our interaction will have opened other people's eyes. Ô¿Ô

Ok,

Point taken, but please note that I am neither the OP of this
message, or someone that usually multi-posts...

<rant>
However, as someone that frequently uses NGs to find the answers to
those little problems that crop up in my day-to-day work, few (NG
related) things annoy me more than finding someone else has asked
exact same question as I am having problems with and received an
answer 'Answered in another NG'. That is, I know that somewhere
someone has an answer to my problem, but I can't always find it...
it would be so helpful from my point of view if the responder to the
post wrote 'Answered in your (duplicate) post in
alt.stuff.stupidQuestions.' or whatever.

Not having a personal go at you, you understand, just moaning about
one of my pet hates...
</rant>

Have a nice day... ;-)

Chris.

And this is why you should not post the same question in multiple
newsgroups. To be honest with you, I rarely pay attention to
specifically which of the Word newsgroups a question is located. I
use OE and am subscribed to 4 Word newsgroups and 10 others.

It'd be cool to know which other group, then anyone else with a
similar problem might be able to find an answer...

Hi,

I've got an HP Officejet T65 printer. In Word it shows the width
of my text as 4.5 inches, but when I print it out the width
measures out to more like 5 inches (just under 5 inches). I'm
using the HP Officejet T Series printer driver.

The strange thing is, if I get it to print directly as a PDF
file, it outputs the file as 5 inches (slightly larger than 5
inches actually).

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

- Brian

Well... you never know!!



Chris.

Not at all. We get accustomed to doing a task one way and we never seem to
explore other methods. I get kidded about being able to find anything on
the web. One of those reasons is because I am willing to try various
search terms. Perhaps our interaction will have opened other people's
eyes. Ô¿Ô

Well, you've taught ME a new way to search the archives, so you've done a
good deed... not sure if I can take any credit for this one,
I should probably hang my head for not thinking of it in the first
place!!

Chris.

I find that's the easiest way to find a post. If it doesn't work, you can
try searching by the topic, assuming *that's* the same.

If all you and I have accomplished is teaching people a new way to
search the archives, we've still done a good deed.

Oooh! Never really thought of doing that...

Doh!!

Chris.

Try searching on the poster's name - assuming they've used the same
name.

The person you need to be upset with is the OP who multi-posted. And
a wee bit with yourself. You could search the archives with Google
Groups.

True, but on more than occasion, I've found the reference to the
answer being in another NG, but not actually been able to find it,
and yes, I do use Google Groups. I guess there is no answer to this
one,


And I have pet peeves too - with people who don't use the archives
before they post. I've seen the same question asked and answered day
after day after day. What ever happened to researching something
before posting? <sigh> Unfortunately that situation will never go
away. We have become a lazy society. Why look something up when
someone else will do it for me? :-(

Problem solved. My document had "Track Changes" turned on with lots of
changes/comments through the whole document. It somehow made things wider. I
got rid of all the visible changes and comments and it prints out fine now.
Thanks for all your help, JoAnne.
