Excel Margin
I am totally frustrated with Excel 2003 Professional. Ive been working on
the horizontal margins far too long. If I make a worksheet and print it Portrait, no matter where I set the Margins (.5; .75; .6 etc.) it prints with perfectly equal margins on both sides. This is a good thing. When I set up a worksheet using Landscape its never equal. I printed a document and had both horizontal margins set for .75 and got 5/8 on the left and 13/16 on the right. When I set them both for .5 I get 7/16 on the left and 9/16 on the left. Am I doing something wrong? Ive reinstalled Microsoft Office 2003 and my printing software so I doubt if its the printing software. Please help! -- Jerry |

Hi Jerry
Just a guess. At the bottom of the Margins set up tab you can check two boxes to center vertically and horizontally. Try to check them after you have selected Landscape, and see if this helps.

It sounds to me that your printer is not feeding paper properly in Landscape
mode. Your results are consistent with the printer feeding mechanism being off 1/16". Does this happen on the first sheet only, or on many sheets in a row? What happens if you print Landscape in Word -- does the same problem manifest itself? Regards, Fred "Jerry" wrote in message ...

I was just preparing a Word Doc when I got notice of your suggestion. Word
does print the same way so apparently the problem is in the printer? "Fred Smith" wrote: It sounds to me that your printer is not feeding paper properly in Landscape mode.
