Word 2002. When I try to print documents, I
receive an error message. The margins of section Section
1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you
want to continue?

I tried changing all the margins and the suggestions in
Article 290964 and it still happens. When I print I get
truncated text.
Help.
 
It's a function of your printer's margin settings. If your printer tells
Word that it has minimum margins, Word tells you if you're outside them and
clips the output to suit.
 
This message is often received in error, but if Word becomes convinced that
your text is outside the printable area (even though it isn't), it very well
may not print it. I don't know that any specific causes have been determined
or cures found, but some users report that closing and restarting Word (or
even rebooting Windows) helps.

I have the exact error message when trying to print. And yes, if I quit
Word and come back...this seems to help. However, this is not a fix. I
still like to know if anyone will have a better solution than quit Word
and come back or restart the computer. If it is related to the printer
margine, we use HP 8000N printer. And I'm not sure what's in the
printer setting that could cause this error in Word.

I am having the same problem with a document and when it fixes my margins it insists that the left margin (document orientation is landscape) must be 2.67......the document was created by someone else and I am just trying to print it. I never have this problem with any documents that I create...is there anything embedded in the document? I am little frustrated because I can't find a solution.
 
Yes, I downloaded that driver and tried it but still receive the same
error.
