Question

Help answer this question below.

I am trying to print invitations and my invite wants to print on the left side of the printer and I want it to print on the right side. I want to change this because printer won't grab it from the left side but will from the right. How can I change this?

    I'm sorry, I've just realised that my first answer doesn't answer your question - I should have read it properly. Try altering the left margin - make sure the Ruler is visible (View/Ruler menu. At the left hand side of the Ruler you will see two little triangles pointing toward each other with a little rectangle attached to the lower triangle.

    Select all your text by holding down the keyboard Ctrl key and hitting the a key and then point your mouse pointer at the little rectangle I've just described. Hold your mouse pointer down and drag it to the right and all your text will move in that direction. Experiment with exactly where you set the left margin until the text lines up properly on the cards. It would probably be cheaper to do this experimental printing on ordinary paper and hold your card to it, rather than using up your cards. You'd get 4 experiments to each sheet of paper if you turned it round and turned it over before re-inserting it into the printer.

    You need to "tell" your printer the size of the paper or card you are printing on if this is different to the paper you normally use. If you click on the toolbar print button a set of default values, including paper size, is used. If I am right and this is the problem you need to go to the File Menu and select Print instead of using the toolbar button. This will bring up a dialog box where you can set the paper size. Alternatively use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + p.
