Print Problem Solution Highlights

1. A blank page appears after the document is printed.

Click Show/Hide Edit Tags on the Common toolbar. If you see a paragraph mark that does not contain text on the last page of the document, delete it. Then click Print Preview on the Home toolbar to view the printed document display and verify that the blank page no longer appears at the end of the document.

2. No paper size required for the printer

You have to print a document now, but the printer you are using does not support the type of paper you are currently printing. What should you do? Click the Print command on the File menu. Under Zoom, select the paper size you want to use in the Scale by Paper Size box. Word will scale the page to fit the paper size you choose, similar to the Reduce/Enlarge feature on your copier.

Also, if the original document was set to A4 paper size and you want to print the envelope paper size now, you can also specify that Word always scales the document appropriately. The method is to click Options on the Tools menu and then click the Print tab. Then select the Allow re-adjustment of A4/Letter paper size check box.

3. A manual page break has been inserted, but the new page cannot be printed.

If you inadvertently set a manual page break to a hidden text format and you specify not to print hidden text, Microsoft Word ignores manual page breaks. New pages will not appear in print preview and will not print.

To remove the hidden text format, first make sure you can see the manual page break: switch to normal view and click Show/Hide Edit Mark on the Common toolbar if needed. Then select the page break, click the Font command on the Format menu, and then clear the Hidden Text check box.

4. The printed page does not match the page on the screen

The page displayed in the Read Layout view fully meets your requirements, but the page you see does not represent the page of the document you are printing. In order to display the page you see is the same as the printed page, in the "Read Layout" toolbar, click on "Actual Pages".

5. Graphics beyond the edge of the page

When creating a booklet, it's best to start with a new blank document and check "Page Setup → Margins → Book Folds" to easily move the position of graphics and other elements. However, if you want to create a book fold in an existing document, you can reposition the shape after the page is set up. Try using horizontal and vertical rulers to help you position the elements precisely.

6. Graphics cannot be printed when printing a document

There are two reasons for this: First, it may be printing in draft mode. Click the Options command on the Tools menu, click the Print tab, and then clear the Draft Output check box; the second is the field code of the graphic that may be trying to print the link, not the graphic itself. Click the Options command on the Tools menu and click the Print tab. Clear the "Domain Code" checkbox.
