[LM_NET] TECH: printing problems with Word 2007

[Barbara Karp <basyak10@HOTMAIL.COM>]

This year, I finally convinced the powers that be to provide the hs library with a 
new computer to replace the slower-than-molasses one the students and I had to 
share.  I was ecstatic, until I tried to print a document from Word.  The document, 
even if it appears to take a full page on the screen, prints compressed (the font 
looks squashed) and on only about a third to a half of the page.  (If the document 
included a picture, it would print normally.)  I finally cornered our tech person 
this summer, and he made some adjustments to the settings, which solved the problem 
while he was in the library.  Unfortunately, the next time I tried to print 
something, it was even worse--the print and also pictures were compressed.  I asked 
the tech guy, and he said something about adjusting the settings again.  I hope he 
doesn't mean this has to be done every time someone prints something!  (I'm not 
even sure what he did.)  We have the same version of Word on our new computer at 
home, and don't have this problem.  Can any of you geniuses help me?  TIA.

"Books
have three of the deadliest foes 

on this Earth: 

fire, water, and ignorant men...

...books are the finest treasures of all.

You need only feast once with your eyes

and your heart.

And you'll be full with their wisdom 

forever." (Melanie Little, The Apprentice's Masterpiece)
