Hi Andy, Let me try to explain. Let's suppose your newly created document is set up with page margins of 1 inch all round. You then open another document with the intention of copying and pasting it into the new document. However, this document has margins of half and inch all round. So you copy and paste anyway. Now you want to print, but your printer is not capable to printing a page with half inch margins. Indeed it is quite common with many ink jet printers that they cannot print a bottom margin of less than three quarters of an inch. You will often find that of you go to File, and select Page Setup, then margins, when you hit the OK button, even without making any changes, Word will tell you the margins are wrong, and offer to fix them for you.

I now want to print the result of this, but when I try to do this, I get a message saying "the margins in section one are outside the printable area of the page" and I'm asked if I want to continue. I don't understand what it means by section one, or what will happen if I continue to print, or how to correct whatever this margin warning is. Other documents print off ok, so I'm assuming this message has been triggered because of what I have pasted in to an existing document, so it looks like I need help in figuring out what the difference between the margins is, and how to make them the same threw the whole document. Would appreciate a quick response to this, as the work needs to be submitted!
