How to ON Correct Print Cut Off

[Chad Harris]

Getting to know the features and finding One Note convenient for collating
points for presentations because of its formating features and saves time
over Word and Wordpad for this purpose because the info can be rearrange
more quickly. I'm having a problem in printing though, because it seems to
cut off part of the tops and bottoms of articles. Any ideas to correct
this? Not having problems at all printing from anywhere else, including
other MOS 2003 components.

Thanks,

Chad Harris

Chad,

Are these articles pasted as pictures/bitmaps into your notes, or are you
referring to text that has been pasted into your notes?

Have you checked the print margins for your notes in page setup?

Hi Chris--

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you--appreciate your help and
usually am a lot better at responding. This was *text*--I find One Note
really convenient to grab excerpts from different articles I have to pull
from on different subjects for a presentation. There are 6 pages. The
first page is fine, *but the first page is the only one I can see with Print
Preview which is not the usual case.* Page 2 and 3has a bottom sentence cut
off; ; 4 and 5 have the top and bottom cut off; and 6 has the top cut off.

Your suggestions probably go to correcting this, but here's the problem.
Unlike most cases of print preview, there are no arrows to view page by page
so I really can't find a way to make it useful. If I print a web page with
IE and Windows XP, usually there is a way to view each page and correct any
problem--and although I haven't checked every situation--I would think from
any Office app. If the ability to hit the arrow to go to the next page is
not available this time for some reason, I need to find out why.

Page Setup shows the print margins ghosted, and I'm not sure how to unghost
them. The default is Top .5" and bottom .5" and left and right 1". If the
pulldown that defaults to "Auto" can make a difference, I'm not sure how.

Chad,

Interesting. In the print preview dialog, are you able to see the
next/previous page arrows in the lower left? Are those working for you?

You can also experiment with the setting in print/preview called "scale
content to paper width". This applies a zoom % to your page in order to make
it fit on a single page if it is too wide to fit on a page without the zoom.

If you want to adjust the print margins, you should go to page setup, choose
a paper size, then adjust the margins. This sets up the dimensions OneNote
will use. If you then print on a different-sized paper, you might get
different results.

Chris--

I should say this problem does not occur in the printing of something that
*I type*--it's only when I'm getting ready for a talk and I paste excerpts
from different articles to get ideas together. The arrows *are* there in
print preview, but I have to drag my task bar down to see them. This
happens with the Adobe print dialogue box as well, and possibly is
dictated by the 1024X768 pixel screen resolution I use and want to keep--I
have to drag my task bar down out of the way--but I haven't had to do it
with other print preview boxes. The print preview boxes so I think and will
find out that the one for One Note is designed a little bit differently.

There is *no scale content to paper width* setting on my print preview box
in One Note to apply a zoom %. As to Page Setup, *everything there is
ghosted in Print Margins.* I would have screen shot, but the one time I did
in an MSN group I got severely chastised and I know it is strongly
discouraged I guess to accomodate everyone's bandwidth or else it's an MSN
NG server issue. It was reflex when I did it because some other groups I'm
used to allow them. I can change page orientation or put a check in the
"Show Rule Lines" box. Width and Height are ghosted and at the top under
the words Page Setup there are twin hexagons that are ghosted. I don't know
if these are supposed to have a function. I noticed by accident that you
can drag the toolbars from One Note *anywhere on the screen,* even out of
the One Note format. I have never noticed this in Office, and I'm not sure
what it would do for me.

Thanks,

Chad

This happened to me, but as I played with the system more, I figured out how to get around it. First, in the File / Page Setup dialog, I changed the "Auto" selection in the upper right-hand corner to say "Letter." That allowed me to change the height and width (but I left them at 8.5" X 11"). I then changed the margins to 0.5" on all four sides. This seems to correct the problem of the header and footer getting cut off and put onto the next page. Then I sized the text container in the document to where about 1" was on-screen on the left and right. If I make the container any bigger, the header and footer start moving off the right-hand side of the page. (I used the File / Print Preview [ALT - F V] to quickly take a peek as I was resizing the container.)

I don't have the zoom % either, just a checkbox that says "scale content to paper width."

In regards to the toolbars, I do the same thing with Office 2000, so that I can get them outside of the Word window and have more visual space for my documents. (I put a screen print at www.whetzel.com/images/word.jpg. Ignore my taskbar that's behind the menus.)

Eddie--

Thanks very much for this. Would have never found this workaround.
