Hi,



I have created a Word 2010 document and I needed to add page borders to certain sections. This all went very well until I needed to add about 8 landscape pages.

When I added the pages, everything seemed fine on the screen however when I print them, the first 10 pages (or so) of portrait pages printed fine with the borders, however then when it came to the landscape ones it cut off the bottom of the page border and then cut it off every page thereafter (even when it reverts back to portrait about 8 pages later).

It seems that when it is printing the landscape pages that it has increased the height of the header for that page and every page after.

I really want this to just be one document, rather than do a portrait document then a landscape document and put them together.

Anyone any ideas?


Thanks,

Most printers (printer drivers) have a nonprinting area, which might explain why the borders don't print. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...sDontPrint.htm.

Hi Stefan,

All of the page borders print correctly if I only print out the portrait pages or landscape pages but it breaks if I print them all out together.


Thanks,

That is confusing... :-(

What kind of section breaks separates these pages with different orientation? Next Page or Odd Page? Or?

Hi Stefan,

It is next page breaks. I have unlinked the headers and footers aswell. The document is to be printed double sided so I also added in blank pages where necessary.


Thanks,

Does it ever happen that a portrait page is on the back of a landscape page (that is, they are both on the same sheet of paper)? At least theoretically, this might cause trouble when printing duplex. However, I have never seen it affect page borders.
