SYMPTOMS
When you print from Creative Writer in Windows 95 to an ink-jet-style printer, such as a Canon BubbleJet, Epson Stylus, or a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet printer, borders do not print completely.

You may experience behavior similar to the following:


 * The Hearts and Flowers borders print with 2.5 inches of the complete image at the top right and bottom right of the page.


 * The Pawprints border prints everywhere except the 2.5 inches on the top right and bottom right of the page.


 * The Snowflakes prints two snowflakes at the top right and two snowflakes at the bottom right of the page.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do the following:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
 * 2) Double-click your printer icon.
 * 3) On the Printer menu, click Properties.
 * 4) On the Details tab, click Spool Settings.
 * 5) Click the arrow to the right of Spool Settings Format: EMF.
 * 6) Select RAW.
 * 7) Click OK to close the Spool Settings window.
 * 8) Click OK to close the Properties window.
 * 9) Close the Printers window.

Borders should now print successfully from Creative Writer.
