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.
It's proper English, but you just don't like the word "pretty" as in the common phrase, "pretty small", "pretty big", etc... the message used to give the cold, dry, emotionless statement "the margins are set outside the printer boundaries" or something like that. I appreciate the change of wording and hope they don't take your feedback to mean users are confused by it - pushing Microsoft in the direction of more cold, dry, emotionless warning messages. It's nice to see Word stating things more clearly and in a human manner, though they seem to be going too far in that direction lately ("Working on a few more things", "Just a moment", etc... when it really means "Cleaning Windows component store", "Updating registry entries", things like that, which actually help technicians like myself).
This message definitely needs a "Do not show again" checkbox, but I appreciate the updated wording none the less. It's just a pain in the **** to get to the printer to swap paper for an envelope, then realize it's still hung on asking if I really want to continue printing, EVERY TIME. I've just got an envelope template with small margins to place a logo in the upper-left return address area. It always prints fine, but likely clips a blank area around the logo. Big whoop, please "do not show again"! :/
