MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem in Write

  1. Open Write and select the Document menu item.

  2. Choose Header, Footer, or Page Layout.

    a. If you choose Header, put a 0 (zero) in Distance from Top and 

          click Return to Document.

    b. If you choose Footer, put a 0 (zero) in Distance from Bottom and 

          click Return to Document.

    c. If you choose Page Layout, put a 0 (zero) under Margins in any of 

          the text boxes (left, right, top, bottom) and click OK.

  3. The following warning message is displayed: 

          Current printer cannot print outside these margins.

  4. Instead of choosing OK, press ALT+SPACEBAR+C (for Close). This does not work.

Steps to Reproduce Problem in Control Panel

Only if a network is installed:

  1. Open the Control Panel Network option.

  2. Choose About Networks from the Help menu.

  3. Instead of choosing OK, press ALT+SPACEBAR+ C (for Close). Again, this does not work.
