WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

While you use Letter Writer, some of your text or graphics may be cut off the screen. The same behavior may occur on printouts as well. Letter Writer will not display or print anything outside the printer driver’s unprintable region.

For example, if you have placed a graphic on the left edge of your document and your printer cannot print anything within .5 inches of that edge, your graphic will be truncated or hidden.

= RESOLUTION =

Graphics
Reposition your graphic inside the unprintable region where you can see the entire graphic.

Text
Increase your margins to allow for the unprintable region, as follows:


 * 1) From within a Letter Writer document, choose the Other Options squishy.
 * 2) Select the Change Margins squishy.
 * 3) Move the slider to the left towards Fits Less Text, then choose the button with the Check Mark.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The unprintable region is defined by your printer driver. There might be another printer driver, which your printer can emulate, with a smaller unprintable region. Consult your printer manual for brand names and model numbers. For instructions on how to install the emulated printer driver, consult your Windows manual. Also, there might be an updated version of your printer driver that has a smaller unprintable region. For more information, contact your printer manufacturer.
