= SUMMARY =

After you close the Print or Page Setup dialog boxes, Microsoft Works may produce the following error message:

The width of your document is greater than the print width you have chosen in Page Setup. Text or pictures which extend past the right margin will be truncated during printing.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Situations such as the following may cause this error message to appear:


 * 1) Moving the right indent on the ruler to the right of the printable area designated in Page Setup. For example, if the left and right margins are set at 1 inch each, the widest printable area is 6.5 inches on US letter-size paper. If the right indent marker is set beyond the 6.5-inch mark on the ruler, the indent marker becomes hollow, signifying that the indent is set outside the Page Setup margins.
 * 2) Placing a graphic so that it touches or overlaps any of the margins set in Page Setup for a document. Choosing Print from the File menu generates the error message.
 * 3) Performing a print merge to an ImageWriter with the Show Field Names command selected in the Edit menu when the field placeholders extend beyond the printable area set in Page Setup. Choosing Print from the File menu generates the error message. To avoid this situation, choose Show Field Data from the Edit menu.
 * 4) Creating text with indents at a set width (for example, from 0 to 6.5 inches on the ruler), choosing Page Setup from the File menu, and reducing the left and/or right margins. Clicking OK generates the error message.

The above examples create a situation that overrides Work’s control of text, graphics, and the printable area of a page.
