SYMPTOMS
When you use the wp$y or wp$x variable in the PRINT field to produce a PostScript file, the drawing height or width may be too large and may cause an "out of bounds" condition.



WORKAROUND
Select the Use printer metrics to lay out document option, using the following steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) On the Compatibility tab, click to select the Use printer metrics to lay out document check box, and then click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
PostScript drawing commands specified in a PRINT field operate only on the drawing rectangle that's defined by a group command. Word also defines variables (for example, wp$y and wp$x) for use with the PostScript commands specified in a PRINT field. Values represented by the variables are in points, which is the standard PostScript unit.

For more information about the PRINT field field codes, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type Print field in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
