Hello!
Some text and image on my slide is cropped when printed, up to 3 cm from A4
page edge.
How prevent the cropping?
My Printer can print with margins just 5 mm.

See if this helps:
Margins are wrong, printout is off-center, I don't want any margins

Thanks Steve Rindsberg for your reply.
The article shows that the margins are caused by a printer, but my printer
can print with margins just 5 mm, and the PowerPoint prints with 3cm
margins.

I don't understand the problem, I'm afraid. If the printer imposes 5mm
margins, I don't know how PPT can print with smaller margins than that.

 

[Dmitry]

PPT prints with larger margins than 5 mm, with margins 3 cm, 6 times larger.

PPT prints with larger margins than 5 mm, with margins 3 cm, 6 times larger.

I'm sorry but this just isn't making sense to me.
No matter what logic I apply, 3cm isn't larger than 5cm.

Do you mean that the margins are 5cm PLUS an additional 3cm?

Have you tried using the "Scale to fit Paper" option in the Print dialog box?

 

[Dmitry]

3cm is 6 times larger than 5mm, not 5cm.
Yes, tried using the "Scale to fit Paper" option in the Print dialog box,

OH! My apologies ... no matter how many times I read that before, I kept
seeing "mm" in both cases.

Does the PPT file's Page Setup size match the printer's paper size, or is it
proportional? If it's not a match, PPT will fill the page as much as it can
without distortion. There'd be larger borders on the sides than top and bottom
(or the other way around). Are your 3cm borders even all around?

 

[Dmitry Kopnichev]

Thanks Steve Rindsberg for your questions.
Yes, my 3cm borders are even all around. Yes, the PPT file's Page Setup size
matches the printer's paper size, A4.

Yes, my 3cm borders are even all around. Yes, the PPT file's Page Setup size

The only other thing I can think of is that there's something odd about the
background that's causing this.

Try this:

Start a new BLANK presentation
Draw a rectangle that fills the entire slide
Give it a fill color of some kind; light gray perhaps
Choose File, Print
Put a check next to Fit to Page
Select Color instead of Grayscale/BW
Print

Still 3cm margins?

 

[Dmitry]

Not 3cm margins, just ~5mm margins.

Thanks Steve Rindsberg for your suggestions. I made as you wrote. The
margins are about 5mm. But I still cannot make PPT to print all the image on
upper, left and right sides. PPT crops the image at these sides. Margins are
~5mm.

Excuse me, but I will be punished by our internal security department if I
would send the slide to somebody outside, because it could contain
confidential information by their understanding. They say that they see what
is sent even through a personal web e-mail account at work.
