Margins outside printable area
Having transferred Word 2000, my documents and my old printer to a new computer, I'm now being told that "One or more margins are set outside the printable area of the page". The problem is with the bottom margin, which I've long had set at 0.9". Word now wants to change it to 1.25". Thing is, nothing has changed apart from the PC and OS. My previous machine had the original WinXP Home; t...

Printing to PDF
when printing to adobe pdf from msword the document seems to be scaled, we've checked that no scaling options are checked. the document is just formatted different when selecting any other printer or the adobe printer. when printing the pdf it seems to be scaled to 95%, the margins, footer and header are also not the correct size. ie. 1" margins are 1.125" and header and footer are .25 l...

footnote numbering
I need to make the footnote numbers on each page different (i.e. 1-6 on page one, 7-12 on page 2 and 13-18 on page three). If I do odd/even pages different, the first two are ok but the third is a duplicate of the first. Sections doesn't seem to help either. I can edit them manually but when I change one, it changes all the pages. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated!!...

How do I get rid of an unwanted left-hand margin in an endnote?
As I was typing footnote 97, an automatic left-hand margin of perhaps 5 spaces appeared and won't go away (for that note). The next note is back to normal formatting. I tried changing from web to print view, but it was still there. I suspect there may be a hidden character that is doing it, and there used to be a "reveal" (control r, I think) mode that would show it. But that seems to be...

How do I allow editing in a header in a protected form/document?
I'd like the users to be able to type information into the header on the second page (such that the header ibnfo carrries forward). The page 2 header is in its very own section already.

I'm making an inspection form where the info on page one is formatted differently from t...

Problems with absolute positioning
I am trying to create a template document that will be used in a merge operation. The merged data will be printed on a pre-printed form. To get all data on exactly the right spot, I use absolute positioning. However, absolute doesn't seem to be that absolute. When I enter 2.5 cm and option Page in the window Advanced Layout, the text box starts at about 3.7 cm. A text box that is printed lowe...

How to customize Word Numbering
I come from a graphic design background (I know and love InDesign dearly). Now I am in a developer environment where legal style numbering for more technical documentation, and editability by others, is required, meaning "we use Word here." Word's auto numbering baffles me when it comes to modifying styles and tabs to achieve a layout that is easier to scan. I have spent hours combing the web ...

tab and indents
I have created heading 1 to 4 with automatic prefix (extra numbers in the heading) Now I am trying to get the indents and tabs correct. I cannot set them in the list as the number in front of the tab is different in each case. This means it might need to be at 1.5 cm one time and 1.8 or 2 the next. Is there a way in word to set the tab as xx cm from the last number/word? For the inde...
