Vista - 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?

What are the margins set at?

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.
