Mass Book

Solved

Hello,

I am making a wedding mass booklet, but when printing, something is going wrong. There is a message that says:

"The page dimensions of section 1 and the printer do not match. The dimensions set in the Page Layout tab and in the Printers dialog box (in the Control Panel) must match. Continue printing?"

I don’t know what to do :(
I have set it to Booklet layout.
I have spent a lot of time typing everything up and making a nice layout, and I really don’t want to lose it.
Just to clarify, I am on a Mac.

Thank you for your help,
Vanessa

Decrease the font size to allow for more margin.

No, it has nothing to do with the font size.

Hello,

Following the message that popped up, have you done the requested check?
What is the page size of your section 1?
What size did you choose in the printer settings?

Maybe you set Landscape in the Word options and Portrait in the printer settings...

Hello Marina!

Thank you very much for your reply :)
I see what you mean, but I'm not very good with computers.... I'll try to see how to check that. Thank you so much!

You position the cursor in the first section, then you display the Page Setup dialog box (double click on the vertical ruler). Under the Margins tab, you should see Landscape format, and under the Paper tab, you should see the paper format.

Then, when you want to start printing, you go to File => Print, and in this window, you have a Printer Properties button. You need to check if you have the same format and layout.
In principle, it should follow, but it depends on the printers.

I found another way!
I converted my Word document to PDF and then opened it in Adobe. From there, when printing, it directly offers the booklet format :)
Thank you for your help.
