page layout and page size
 
I �m sorry... I do sometimes download a ws that I find really interesting and then horror!! I print it and only part of the ws is printed on my page!
I did not know what was wrong until a few days ago when I noticed that some members upload their ws in american style page?? (well that �s what I think anyway)
I then have to rearrange everything on the page and it takes ages!!
Is there a quicker of doing things?
could people mention when their ws is not A4 size?
thank you
have a lovely day

It has happened to me as well!  I found out that after you press print, you can look for the page scale drop down and scale to an A4 size!

I have also had that problem!! I think that people should perhaps specify (or have a category, option or something) because I have printed ten or twenty copies in the past and to my horror none of them were really usable as things were cut in half. Also, when modifying I basically found out that I couldn �t, like jamiejules everything moved around on the page and I just would get frustrated trying to make it fit an A4 format.

Thanks for mentioning this!
I have often wondered about the strange page sizes in the preview. Some worksheets look much longer than the majority and I could not understand the reason.

Thanks for your post Jamiejules and Hazza for the tip. I hadn �t noticed the page scale option on the print window...

I have had the same problem.  But I am used to it now.  I regularly have to delete borders and backgrounds to make it work.  If members group their images.  It makes it much easier to do.

Using print preview before printing also helps.

Hi!
 
When you print you have the option to choose the page size you �ll print, and it �ll fit any size you want it. Sometimes I print small sizes just to check the ws first (I can �t see the mistakes unless I print it). Hope it helps!

Thank you.

Try the printer settings then. There are many adjustments you can do clicking the "settings" option before printing:
