SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you set margins in the Margins tab of the Page Setup dialog box, the Sample picture may not reflect the correct margins for paper sizes other than US Letter (8 1/2 x 11).

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the sample page on the Margins tab in the Page Setup dialog box is not scaled correctly when you select a paper size other than US Letter. For example, if you select the paper size US Legal (11 x 14) in the Options dialog box for the printer, the sample page that appears on the Margins tab does not change in size or proportion. This means that the margins and the printable area on this sample page do not appear in the correct proportion.

NOTE: The correct margins appear in print preview, and the correct margins are used when you print your project.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
