paper format

[Sebastian]

I´ve been trying to print a Word dokument (v.X update 10.2.5) to a DIN
A4 sized paper (by electing DIN A4 for paper size), result: Footlines
a being cut at 1,45cm, because they are set by default at a distance
of 1,27cm from margines. What sense does that make? Is it then true
that I have to create an new paper size format (setting lower margin
to 0) to print on the daily-used DIN A4 paper?
Helpful commet will be appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi Sebastian:

No, that is not true.

DIN A4 is the standard paper size in all except one country in the world

Use Word's Format>Document command to adjust your margins to anything you
like. Then click the Default button to set your new measurements for all
future documents you create.

However, please note that this is not your problem: your problem is that you
are formatting the document for the wrong printer.

Word will automatically move your document margins if you try to place
headers or footers outside the printable margins of the printer. The only
time it gets that wrong is when it is using the wrong driver for the printer
in use.

When you installed Word, it should have automatically asked you whether you
wanted to use metric or imperial paper stock. You may wish to re-set your
defaults to metric if your installation has been done badly. The process is
described in the Help.

Hope this helps
