I use OS 10.1.5 - Microsoft Office X.
I have just created a slide that contains pictures, art clips and
words. It prints just fine in landscape mode with one exeption.
Everything is aligned to the left even though I have selected center
from the pull down menu. The printed version has an eight of an inch
margin on the left and one inch on the right , not at all what I am
seeing on the screen.

When I look at Page set up - Summary, it showes .25 in. for a left
margin and the same for the right. How can I correct this?

Thanks, Carlos

What kind of printer, Carlos? Inkjet? If so, see this:

So ... did the info in the link help explain the situation?

Different printers have differing margins of white - be sure you have
your document size set to "A4"(or whatever) -- and the printer set to
recognize "A4" - most important!

Where you will get shifting is if you made your page in A4 -- and the
printer settings are set to recognize "US Letter"size.

It's always difficult when something prints perfect for you -- but the
document's transmitted to someone else on a different brand of printer
- and then they need to accommodate the same thing especially when
doing something like a triple-fold A4 brochure. It gets tricky.
