- I think I have found a bug in Word but I don't know exactly
- what caused it. I am posting this in case someone can replicate it.
-
- Yesterday I wanted to print my class schedule on a page in my time
- manager which uses 3 3/4 by 6 3/4 inch paper. I did the following:
-
- Set Page Size to Width 3.75, Length 6.75, format Landscape, all margins
- to 1/2".
-
- Made a little table using the Word Table feature. It was six columns by
- eight rows. I used New Times Roman (a TrueType font), pt. size 8.
-
- Printed the thing, using my Panasonic PX-1180.
-
- The table printed on the side as I expected, but the upper half
- was missing, i.e. the entire table was shifted to the left on the
- printed page:
-
- Page
- +--------------+
- Table | |
- xxxxxxxx |
- xxxxxxxx |
- xxxxxxxx |
- xxxxxxxx |
- xxxxxxxx |
- xxxxxxxx |
- | |
- +--------------+
-
- After messing with the settings for too long, I finally hit upon
- adding one line of ordinary text before the table started. Originally,
- the table was the first thing to appear in the document. After I
- added a line containing a string of characters before the table,
- it printed out correctly placed on the page. Now is this a bug in
- Word or just my printer driver maybe?
