printed page doesnt look like what is on the screen

S

Sarah

I changed the measurements but that wasn't the problem. I am comparing what
has been printed off one computer and printer to another. Initially the
measurements were different therefore I couldnt match it up exactly and
thought that was the problem. But it hasn't made a difference. comparing the
printed pages the font looks smaller the header and footer are too far into
the middle of the page and the left margin is too big.
Why is it like this when all the settings and options are the same?

Hi Sarah,

You can change to centimeters in "Tools > Options > General".

I'd take bets that the choice of units doesn't have anything to do with
differences between screen and print.

What view did you work in? "View > Normal view" isn't meant to be WYSIWYG,
it's rather aimed at making it easy to edit the document.

"View > Page layout view" should give a pretty good impression of what the
printed document will look like.
So (and probably more so) will "File > Page preview".

What are the differences you are seeing?

Regards,
Klaus
