I am trying to setup a newsletter using paper sized 17x11. I used text
boxes to setup the layout, but when I go to display or try to print, the
display and page cuts off part of the layout. I tried the mirror, I
tried reducing the margin, nothing seem to be working. Any help is
appreciated. Please reply to EI...@sprynet.com. Thanks

Hi Delores,

Are you using a printer that accepts 17X11 paper and are you staying within
the printer's printable area on the page? Inkjet printers often require 0.67
inches or more of empty space at the bottom of the page.

Hi Bill, I am not trying to print it, only lay it out, I will copy the doc. to
diskette and print on a printer that is definitely capable of printer this size
paper.

Hi Delores,

You must have a printer selected that supports printing to that format. If
you install the driver for such a printer (Start Menu, Settings, Printers,
Add New Printer - pick HP 4MV will do), then you should be able to see the
document formatted as it would be printed on such a printer.

Hope this helps.
