We have a number of clients running Office 2000 and some running Office XP...

When I am using Office XP, from time to time I can open a Word document that was created in Office 2000 and the formatting of the document will be correct on the screen but when I print it the formatting will be moved to the right about one inch...

Does not happen consistantly...

In this particular project, I am modifying some templates the client made...they were created on Office 2000 and I am modifying them with Office XP...

Some of the templates will, on the screen look correct, but after printed will be moved to the right on the page about 1 inch...

Anyone seen this before???

Any thoughts or ideas???

Thanx
Steve

Forgot to include...

When attempting to print, Word pops up this error message...

"The margine of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue? Yes No"

I have the margins set at 1.25" on both the left and right side...

thanx
Steve

This sounds like a print driver problem. Are they using the same print drivers? Whilst we were upgrading our OS we had some users on Office97 and others on Office2000 and experienced a similar problem with margins. This was because the Office97 users were using HP PCL5e drivers and XP users HP PLC6 drivers. We changed the XP users to PCL5e and all o.k.

Hope this helps.

Hi Steve,

I noticed you posted this query in July and I am
hoping that by now you have isolated and fixed
the problem
I have recently upgraded an entire office (26
users) to Windows XP and Office XP. When a
word document created before the switch is
opened on one of the new systems it
'occasionally" prints fine and other times the page
is shifted to the right. We print to HP 2000 series
and 4000 series printers and although I have not
tried all the available drivers I have tried a few, but
to no avail.
If you can help I would appreciate it. Thanx!

BrianS
