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.

And I explained a long, long, time ago how to modify the mailmerge main document to avoid that entirely. See my reply of November 8, 2014.
The biggest trouble is sections... This warning appears for each one of them.
Using a mail merger with 50 records equals to 50 warnings when printing! Thanks Microsoft
The document I want to print only occupies the top left 2/3 of the page in very small print. How do I change it to fill the entire page?
