already! It means alot!

I'll check the file at home. I don't think it's a margin error issue but
until I can take a peek at it, I won't know for certain.

We'll get it figured out. :)

I was going to leave it, but I will add this. The problem of part of a page
not printing is posted to this newsgroup at least several times a week it
seems. So often, that Ed posted the solution on his Blog as a FAQ. That is
why I jumped in and suggested that the question had been answered. You can
send your file to JoAnn, and if she is using a different printer than you,
it might work just fine, but it doesn't solve your problem.

I could be wrong...it wouldn't be the first time, but I would suggest that
you follow the link that Mary gave you and actually use the method Ed
gives you to determine the printable area for your printer. What you will
probably discover is that you can print closer to the top edge than the
bottom edge, and closer to the left edge than the right edge in landscape.
This is true for most printers. You said in your original post that your
border is equal on all four sides, but one side is probably outside the
printable area and that is why it isn't printing. But as I said, I could
be wrong...

No, she didn't answer the question already. It is WELL within the

area for my printer.

Interesting explanation as you posted your typical question to a
question at
10:56 AM on the 17th, and Mary, as usual, followed you with the answer
at
11:16 AM on the 17th.

As far as it taking too much space...Mary's response took 1 kb of space.

DavidF

That explains why di didn't see it. I have an older computer with two
smaller hard drives. I clear things out within a day or so if I don't
need
them. It does make it tough when someone responds and all you see is
their
comment, not what they are answering. :-(

I am trying to print some invitations and the right side of my border
will
not print. It is on my print preview screen, but will not print.
It is
the
same distance from the edge of the page as the other three borders.
I
have
even tried just moving it WAY to far inside, and it still won't
print.
I
have tried everything with no success. Please someone help.
Did she? I tend to clear out posts in OE about once a day.

Well, here's the thing. It is basically a half page print, so I have
centered it on the page and the right border still doesn't print. That
border was a couple inches from the edge of the page. I would appreciate it
if instead of jumping on someone that was trying to help, you would instead
gather some information and then post an answer. Your reponses were very
rude to me and to JoAnn, especially considering she was just making her best
effort to help! Take this for what its worth.

I have publisher 2003 SP2. I have an HP 6540 printer. It is borderless
capable for photos, but on my document, the border that I want to print is at
a minimum (if I print 2 to a page) is about 3/4 of an inch to the inside.
The maximum print area is at about a 1/16 of an inch from the page edge.

What version Publisher? Is it a Borderless printer from HP?

OK, I apologize if what I said to JoAnn, was perceived as rude to you. I
