Printer Margins?
 
Hi all. Love this site and love the sharing that we do.

I have a quick question. Many of the worksheets I download have margins that are too small and the edges of my worksheet get cut off. Reformatting the whole page is a pain. What is your experience? How do you �shrink � the page to get it to print well?

Thanks so much in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.

Have a fabulous day and happy teaching!

Hi!
 
I set the paper size I �m going to use and when it gives me a message "out of margin" I choose to ignore it.
 
Hope it helps.

My printer allows me to reduce the page to fit the size of my printing paper. Check in the properties of your printer.

It �s a problem for me too as we use A4 and many worksheets are in foolscap.  My home printer won �t allow for adjustments to I have to manually fix it.  It �s a pain in the proverbial.

Nope, Zailda, "ignore it" wouldn �t help. It �s because the ws is saved in the "letter" format which is used in the US. I also had a pictionary once that seemed fine in the doc but somehow was too large to fit A4. After some attempts to fix it I just gave up.

After having the same problem for a long time, someone gave me the solution: all you have to do is convert the .doc format to PDF. You �ll see, the results are great!
