Printing Problem...

macca1983

When ever i try to print a page this message pops up

"The paper size of page 1 is different from the printer page size. The paper size options you select on the Page Layout tab and the Printers Dialogue box (in the control panel) must match. Do you want to continue printing?"

How do i solve this problem.

If i hit yes and select to continue printing the lines on the page do not come out properly if you follow me??

HELP PLEASE!

Would help to know what application you're printing from.

Sounds like Ms Word though. Go in to File -> Page Setup. There should be an option there for layout and page size (in the tabs). I'm pretty sure that it's something other than A4 in there.

Huh? Ok what application are you printing from, is it microsoft word? (The question mark is after throwing me in your response!)

That error is because the first page of the document might be laid out differently than the rest.

So when you have the document open. Click on File -> Page Setup -> Layout (tab). The drop down on that should read "A4". If it doesn't select A4, click OK and try to print again.

Oops! Yes i am printing from a Microsoft Office document!

I have the A4 part sorted now thank you!

However when i print, the sentences don't all finish exactly in line if you know what i mean??Does this make sense and how do i sort it? The alignment looks kind of off so to speak. Just looks very unprofessional.

Well because you've changed the page size unfortunately you're going to have to sort that out the hard way! By editing it yourself. As in line by line, backspacing until it fits. Or pressing enter to bring the text to the next line.

That ain't working! When i bring back back a line or bring one forward(by pressing enter) the words just join up if you follow!

F*CK ME! I hate these little niggly problems!

Ah ok. Can you open up a new word file. Copy+paste the text in to that. Edit it and then paste it back in to the original file? Yeah it's a pain in the ar*e but I think it's the only way to get around this "jumbled" formatting problem.
