How do I get rid of the warning in Office 2013 that says "Your margins are pretty small, some of the content you print may be cut off. Are you sure you want to print?"?
I have read: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/166055
I set my margins to small by default, as I know that my HP printer can print to that size. (I have been printing like this for about 2 months, with no cut offs!) However word refuses to acknowledge this.
Is there some sort of global setting that stops this? As the amount of times that I have hit quick print, and then gone to the printer and then realised that it hasn't printed, because I forgot to click yes to the warning! It is really annoying!
Also, I really do not want to follow the steps in KB166055, as I would have to do that for every single document, and even then it decreases my margins, to sizes which word considers "Acceptable", which wastes paper, and messes up my document organisation completely! These "Acceptable" Margins are massive! Can I stop it without changing my margin size?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The unprintable area respected by Word is specified by the printer driver, not by Word itself. Word gets the information from the printer driver, so unless you can redefine the unprintable area in the printer Property settings, there may be no way around this message.
The OP has already said he doesn't want to use the settings Word assigns when he uses "Fix." But since those minimums are established by the printer driver, there is really no way around them. And there is no need to consult the printer manual because the values Word uses when you click "Fix" are the ones prescribed by the printer manufacturer.

That was just frustration being vented.
No, Rohn007, it wasn't 'just frustration being vented'.
It's bleedingly obvious to anyone who opens the document that it loads the Avery Addin - which isn't part of any standard Word installation. The document even displays the Avery copyright notice when you select it in Windows Explorer. Even if it wasn't known that was a vital piece of information, it could have at least been mentioned in case it was a relevant consideration.
And, in the final analysis, what we've been asked to help with in this case is a problem resulting from software piracy.
"All our efforts to resolve the issue have been a waste of time without that vital piece of information, since it's not a Word problem at all."
I didn't know it was a vital piece of information.

Don't worry, that (lack of specific information) is the biggest problem we have to deal with in this sort of support.
You don't know what you don't know, and we don't know what to ask.
The message in the case has nothing to do with the layout of the document as uploaded. Indeed, even without any of the layout modifications suggested in this thread there is no good reason for it to have produced the warning, since there is ample room for the margins on any standard printer (assuming your printer is actually using letter-size paper).
Therefore, the issue is most likely due to something going on with the Avery Addin the document contains, which you never told us you're using and which MS is not responsible for. All our efforts to resolve the issue have been a waste of time without that vital piece of information, since it's not a Word problem at all.
IMHO, you'd do better to ditch the Avery Addin (it is a known source of such problems - even the links to the Avery website in yours don't work) and stick to the label tools Word already comes with.
You say "I got this file from a (trustworthy) acquaintance." Given that it contains an Avery Addin, doing that is a copyright violation unless you have a licence to use the Addin. And, as for looking at the code in the Avery Addin, you can't - it's password protected and no-one here is going to help you circumvent that.
