Printing Word Processor Templates

Certain printer drivers may not print some Word Processor templates correctly.

Although the document may appear to be correct when you click Print

Preview on the File menu, it looks different when you print. For example,

the printed version may be formatted differently from the original, the

document may print on more than one page, or a blank page may appear at

the end of the print out.

This problem occurs with these and other drivers:

* HP DeskJet: 2500, 680c, 692c, 1600, 670c, 660c

* HP LaserJet: 2600, 4mv, 8550, 4500

To fix this problem, you must adjust the margins manually for the document.

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.

2. If it isn't already selected, click the Margins tab.

3. Adjust the settings so the document prints as you want it to.
