8.5 x 15" Stock Certificate

[Pam, OK]

This is an odd size, and I'm having trouble getting this to work. I can set
up the page, but when I go to print preview, it only shows me and 8.5 x 11"
section, and will not print in landscape even after I've set the page to
landscape, along with the printer settings too.

with the Word template that is 8.5 x 11". If I can accomplish the template
in Publisher I'll certainly try.

No, I need the document to become a custom size as noted in the subject line.
Everytime I change the page size I would lose the ability to print-preview
the entire document. So now I've changed the paper size to 11 x 17, but that
has now created more formatting work, and I don't think this is way to fix it

I have a pre-printed stock certificate that is on 8.5 x 15" paper. I need my
template to match the paper size of my pre-printed certificate in order to be
able to put my fields, or text boxes in the proper positions. If I let it go
to legal everything shrinks, and does not print in the appropriate places.

I have a pre-printed stock certificate that is on 8.5 x 15" paper. I need
my
template to match the paper size of my pre-printed certificate in order to
be
able to put my fields, or text boxes in the proper positions. If I let it
go
to legal everything shrinks, and does not print in the appropriate places.

Legal is 8½" x 14 so you wouldn't have to do anything to the size. Maybe
I'm
being dense but I just don't get what you're trying to do.

No, I need the document to become a custom size as noted in the subject
line.
Everytime I change the page size I would lose the ability to
print-preview
the entire document. So now I've changed the paper size to 11 x 17,
but
that
has now created more formatting work, and I don't think this is way to
fix
it
either.

Okay, now what are you trying to do with it? Just print it on a legal

sheet, right?

When I try to print using legal size, it shrinks the image,

the fields should be in the 15" form.

Everything but the actual data that would be filled in on the blank lines.
I'm trying to create fields or text boxes in the places where the blank lines
are. So the problem is that I can't get the page size in word to match the

Pre-printed? What's printed on it?

If your printer can handle 15" stock, then setup your printer for a custom 8.5 x
15. Your certificate is pre-printed, so it is a matter of measuring your space
and placing your text and images in the space.

I have done that with my printer. It is set to print to a custom size.
However, this template I'm trying to resize will not. I have also started a
template from a blank page, and set up the page size, yet it will not accept
the 15" length when I try printing.

If your printer can handle 15" stock, then setup your printer for a custom 8.5 x

[Young--IN]

Hello Pam:

I'm familiar with printing certificates. Your printer needs to handle a
page at least as large as the one you are asking about.

In other words, for an 8.5" x 15" certificate, you need a printer designed
for 11"x17" paper. A regular printer, designed for 8.5 x 14, actually
prints 8" x 13" or something like that!

(My printer Epson 1270 actually handles 13" x 28".)

That's why you see your computer is demanding to "fix" margins it thinks are
"incorrect." Page dimensions that are too large for the printer's page size
are automatically adjusted by the computer. It does this by "resizing" the
page dimensions and type sizes and positions.

If your first printed character on the left (measured from the edge of the
paper to where the first character begins) is 1" from the paper edge, then
you "lose" part of that 1". Because your computer thinks of that as
printable area and left margin (non-printable).

You might be able to get away with changing your Page Length to maybe 14".
(Remember the total printable line length will still be about 13".) That
way your Left margin could be corrected. However, if you are trying to
center a line in the 15", it will come off looking a little odd. Optically
a centered line would be off about 1/2" to 3/4".

What I typically do is print out a sample page on 8.5" x 14" paper, tape a
certificate to a window (light coming from behind) and overlay the pages.
Check my positions, and make small manual adjustments as needed. Then put
in the certificate and the type should fit the blanks and the certificate!

Let me know if you have questions?

Cordially yours,

Young--IN

 

[Pam, OK]

Thanks for the suggestion on changing the paper length on the word .dot to
14". I was doing all of the other things you were saying too. I actually
taped the cert to my screen while viewing in 100%. Now that the paper is 14"
I can see all of it in print preview. I think I now have a workable template.
Thanks again.
Pam
