Page setup margin problem

September 7th, 2007, 11:15 am

I want to print an application from online, which has a specific margin setup. I want to put the margin at right/left: 0.25, top: 0.1 and bottom: 0.0. But it automaticly changes the top and bottom margins to 0.116 and 0.123. How do you configure it so it doesn't do this?

Are you pasting into Word or is it a PDF?

On my browser I can go to File > Page Setup > Margins & Header/Footer . Than I can set my specifications there.

Yes this is exactly what I did, but doesn't stay the way I want it, making the application I am trying to print invalid.

Then paste the text into Word and set your margins there.

how? It's a online Passport application. the application is java based and can see the final result through print preview. What is shown on the browser and what is shown in print preview are totally different.

I recently printed my passport application from the web site. I didn't have any problem. Is it not printing correctly? Is part of it missing off of the page?
Try another browser.

the form isnt set up to see it on a browser. it ask you to preview it to have the form in tables and with a bar code on top.

I didn't realize that you are talking about a Canadian passport. I tried to open that link in firefox and it said that the browser wasn't supported. Then I tried to open it in IE and it said that it was processing my request and it may take a couple of minutes. Well, a couple of minutes have passed and still no application. Maybe you can pick one up at some government office.

Yes that's what i did, but I wanted to look neat. and if I made a mistake I have to get a new one. Online u can just correct it.

When I'm stuck like that, I either make a copy before I write on it, or use pencil first, then go over it in ink.
