    Issues with printing and viewport/clipping

    I have this weird situation where I will be in Excel working on a chart in
    it's own tab, and when I decide it's time to print, my display seems to so
    zoom in and I now have to resize the physical chart on the page to see it
    again before I print. If I printed it as it is, it would crop the pic.
    (somewhere around 75% or orig is viewable). This only happens when I chose
    to print that chart, not before. I see the same thing happen when I go to
    print a chart from familytreemaker, and in that case my display of a graphic
    doesn't change, but the resultant print is cropped on the right. (again
    around 75% or what it should be).

    It seems that there is a problem with the display system talking to the
    printing system.... Has anyone else seen this?

    Hi Cari... Margins are set at default for whatever print driver I am working
    with. This problem happens with all my printers, from Ricoh to Epson to
    AdobePDF.
