Hello,
A kind person by the name of Stefan Blom suggested I post this question here.
I’ll try to be as straightforward as possible.
I’m working with Word 2000 on Windows XP, and I use the A4 paper format. The
paper format is correctly specified in File / Page Layout. I
have my top, bottom and side margins set to 2.5cm. When I print out a page,
the result is a sheet of paper with the correct margins: 2.5cm all round. No
problems, everyone’s happy.
However, I’ve just noticed the following: while in page view and in print
preview, the top margin is actually 3cm instead of 2.5cm. This makes a
difference when ‘printing’ to (or creating) pdf files. Whenever I hit ‘print’
in order to make a pdf file from the Word document, the pdf file reproduces
the document exactly as it appears in page view/print preview. In other
words, the pdf file has a top margin of 3cm instead of the specified 2.5cm.
So, the question is the following: Why doesn’t the top margin show up
properly in Word when in page view/print preview? Surely it should,
especially when the other margins do.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
