Mac Forum / Applications / Word / January 2007Word Document Truncating at .5" from bottom
Can anyone offer a suggestion please? My documents are not printing below a half inch from the bottom margin on any printer. The drivers are all current. Even to a PDF, it won't print the bottom half inch. I think it's a Mac issue because on a PC, the same document works fine with all printers. Any help please? I did 1.Set margin and footer to 0 at FORMART>document 2. Then File> PRINT> and at left click on PAGE SETUP>PAPER SIZE>MANAGE CUSTOM make a new custom one set to 21cm and 29.7 cm. Press OK. Now choose the one you have just created at PAPER SIZE, click OK and then in other dialog box choose print to PDF. This enables me to gain the smallest possible margins.

Lemmee guess :-) On the PC you have set the document to "Letter Size" paper and the printer has Letter Size paper in it. On the Mac, you have somehow set the document to "A4" page size, but the printer still has Letter paper in it? A4 is longer and narrower than letter. Go to File>Page Setup and make sure the paper size you have chosen is what is actually in the printer. The go to Format>Document and make sure you are not asking the printer to print closer than half an inch from the edge of the paper. You may want to review all of the topics you will find in the Mac Help under "Printing". Word does not do the printing, it hands off to Mac OS for that, so you need to read the Mac Help for an explanation of the options that appear in the File>Print dialog.

When you install Print Driver the first time for HP Printer it will ask if you want to use A4 or letter size as default size printer. I've had this happen with every HP printer I installed. > Lemmee guess :-) On the PC you have set the document to "Letter Size" paper > and the printer has Letter Size paper in it.

First I have also thought about letter size of paper, but I have been playing with word for a while and I have newer used that letter and even when I choose wherewer possible (printer sytem pref, Word) size A4 still when printing to PDF there¹s about 0.5cm margins at botom. So I had assumed that the original post was about this. The only case I got get bottom margin=0 in PDF is If make custom page (which is in fact A4 but called custom) as described previously. But I'm aware that zero border cannot be reach on SOHO printers.
