When you try to print a Word document, do you ever get the message: "The margins of section n are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?"
If you click No, Word will cancel printing your document. If you click Yes, Word will print your document, but some of the text may be cut off at the end of the page. That's because your margins are set closer to the edge of the paper than your printer is capable of printing. (Most printers can't print all the way to the edge of the paper.) To remedy this, you could try to manually adjust the margins, but it is easier to have Word fix it for you. Here's how:
Press [Ctrl][G].
In the Go To What box, scroll to and select Section.
In the Enter Section Number box, enter the section number given in the error message, press [Enter], and click Close.
Go to File | Page Setup.
On the Margins tab, click OK.
Click Fix.
Click OK.
Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each section that has margins set outside the printable area of the page.
