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.
If you want to know how bad a design this is, try doing a mail merge to Avery 6572 labels printed on an HP printer - you get the message on every page before it prints anything!!!
I'm sure I really want to say, yes, Microsoft's selected margins for their label template for the most popular printers in business really should make me confirm I know what I'm doing.
Or they could stop writing software like everyone are children and make stuff usable.
I've found this thread looking for an answer, too.
As repeated many times through this thread, all I want is a way to disable the error message. I understand its purpose, but it's never actually accurate. Despite the warning my documents print without any errors. Clearly this is an bug, not a feature.
Any ideas will be appreciated. I face this dialog literally everytime I print and it disrupts my work flow.
Just came looking for a solution to this and found that:
1.) this thread started on October 17, 2013... or 1,201 days ago
2.) there have been 20,700 views... meaing LOTS of people have the same problem
3.) the problem still has not been solved.
And we, as customers of MSFT, PAY for this abuse!
Unbelievable.
