Calling MS Word Experts?

My CV (resume) is very neat, but when I try to print, I always get a message saying that there is a problem with the alignment of the borders, I hate that, when I print, the top margin is chopped off, if I move it downwards, then the whole page layout changes, meaning I get an extra line which shifts the contents that should be on page 1 to page 2.

if anyone could help me, I would like to send you my CV over WLM for you to have a look. it will tak a sec only.

please help me....... PM me your email id for WLM

 

Did you try to go into your "print preference" and unchecked anything that say print with border?

 

I did not try that?

but i want my cv to print normally as default, please help meh. itll take u a sec man

 

If you wrote your CV in Win7 or Vista you must print it there.

 

are you serious?????????????

 

Just want to check something. What does your CV look like in the print preview? Is it what it is supposed to be? I.e no formatting change

 

it looks perfect man, just the same way I formatted it.

how about I send it to you maybe u can tell me whats the problem with the top part of page one being chopped off when printing

 

PS: When I printed the CV it was on an XP system, while I have created th CV on Vista, dunno if that matters like the guy above suggested

 

Do both systems have the same version of Office on them as well, or different versions?

 

both using office 2k7 FTW

 

Can you reinstall/install your printer driver, preferrably with either PCL6 or postscript driver.

Also.. send me a copy of CV and i'll look over it if there's any problem in the saved file.

 

check ur email dude

 

i know this isnt a solution but maybe a workaround if you need it soon, hit print then select pdf. Then review the pdf does it look right? If that works just print the pdf

 

What version of Word?

Your problem is occuring because it was saved with a page size/margins that worked with a printer on the other computer, but will not work with the printer on this one.

Depending on the version of Word, you need to go in and set the page size to standard letter (8.5 by 11) and set the margin to 1 inch all around. Any printer can handle this set up.

Then adjust your CV from there and finally do a SAVE AS to make the final result.

 

hey, you've been swapping between xp/vista/win7 so much none of us can keep track anymore.

Mind your document size settings (A4, US Letter, whatever) and make sure that a) your printer driver supports your choice and b) you have that paper loaded in the printer.

Many printers have an unprintable margin. It won't matter if you try to force the printer to print edge to edge. Mechanically the printer will NOT print there. Some printer drivers are smart enough to warn you of a margins problem, other drivers just error out, other still will stupidly carry on printing without warning leaving you wondering what happened to screw up your printouts.

 

Thanks for this excellent advice, I'll try that....

 

problem fixed. had to set the printing scaling to A4

 

I thought word has "auto" scaling turned on by default? Did you re-enabled the "scale content to letter or a4 paper size in the advanced options in word? what did you do?
