Says margins outside printable area and they are not.

Each time I try to print this document, I get the error message "the margins of section "n" are outside the printable areas of the page. Do you want to continue? If I say yes, it procees to list numerous other sections which I continue to say yes to and then it eventually prints but the whole document is to the right of what it should be on the page and part is off the page. If I say no, it quits. If I go to page set up and check the margins, there are now outside the printable area. I have done that before and seen what happens and I have had it fix the problem. There is no problem here. Word is making a mistake and I don't know how to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem?

Word gets this information from the printer driver. Go to Start > Settings >
Printers and check all the properties for your printer.

But it's also true that the message is often unwarranted.
