MS Word formatting problems fucking piece of garbage

[Boss Hog]

I'm trying to insert graphics to a word sheet and it's saying the margins are off. On a print preview it shows my entire bottom section missing. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I've tried messing with margins, tabs and shit.

Word sucks for importing graphics. Bill Gates can eat a cock.

 

[opium_souldjah]

could it have to do with your paper orientation or the size of the graphic when it's introduced to Word?

 

[starr]

your header/footer settings could be screwed up?

don't know, sorry....sometimes i'll just highlight the text and paste it into a new document

can work at times, other times it copies the original formatting too

 

[Boss Hog]

tried all those things.


I imported the graphics slightly larger and shrunk them. Maybe I'll try importing them and leaving them the same size. Not that it will make a difference with this piece of shit software.

Check how the text is wrapped around the graphic box. I usually put it not to wrap, or it fucks things up completely.

Actually, I just don't use Word anymore, but that's really beside the point.

try inserting the graphic between Carriage Returns, not at the end of the document.

ie. press <enter> a few times and then insert the graphic in the middle.

tape the insert to the page and photocopy the whole mess. Old school

Try using anything not made by Microsoft...

I always have those problems with Word.

I wish there was a version of word that turned off all the automatic adjustments and let you do them by hand...

I want the fucking text indented here.... Not here you fucking program...

for real, that's what it comes down to with SAC LA MERDE word.

labrat: nope.

 

[labRat]

UHU Glue Stick works better for this. No tape markings.

Or, you could try using PageMaker

 

[labRat]

are you using "Insert" or copy 'n paste? Try the latter.

 

[JESuX]

try hitting "ignore" and sending it to print anyway.

i have to do this almost every day when I'm printing labels and fax transmittals.

printers and computers are teh gay.

I hate the auto formatting in MS Word.

It's like, "I FUCKING WANT IT THAT WAY, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" What's the point of spell check?

 

[Boss Hog]

tried both labrat

Jess did that, half the page prints off to the right and half of it is missing.

So on the monitor, the bottom is missing in a print preview, yet it prints skewed off to the right.

FUCK YOU Bill Gates.

 

[Libradragon]

maybe you're just not doing it right, eh genius?

 

[Boss Hog]

maybe you'd like a knuckle sammich, princess.

The answer to your question is in the manual that came with the software that you purchased.

Cheers ... Ian

 

[Boss Hog]

the fucking genius has spoken.

Dude, it has to do with the text wrapping, trust me.

 

[Boss Hog]

Wow when are you two eloping.

I HAVE TRIED THAT MANUAL SHIT WHICH IS WHY I'M SO FRUSTRATED.

But thanks for the suggestions.

Make it so there is not wrapping, format picture---> layout---> behind text.
