Problem

Symptoms: Text is running off the left edge of the page when using the Binding Offset feature with the HP LaserJet IIP printer. The customer is using a .69" Binding Offset and the left margin is set at .31". Solutions: A Binding Offset of .69" tells WordPerfect to shift the text .69" beyond the selected margin. In this example, the left margin was set at .31", a .69" offset puts the text past the edge of the page. On even pages this will cause text to print off the edge of the page, but on odd pages the text on each line will be compressed and will not go beyond the right minimum margin for that printer. This may cause the text to overlap and is especially noticeable if there is a Flush Right, Tab, or Indent code on a line. In order to avoid problems, make sure that the minimum margin for the printer that is added to the Binding Offset does not exceed the selected margin. For example, .31" plus .69" is 1" and so the margin must be set to at least 1". If a smaller margin is selected, WordPerfect will try to push some of the text past the minimum margin of the printer and some of the text will be chopped off.
