Hi,

I am having a similar problem as Marty. I am finishing my thesis, and they require for all of the headers w/ page numbers in the upper right corner. One of my tables must be in the landscape, but when I do this the header moves to landscape too. How can I get it to be moved back to the portrait?

Thanks!!

Hi Marty – here are some things to look at:
Does it happen on all printers, or just a specific printer? It could be related to the printer, not to Word 2007.
Can you work around the problem by moving in the right side tab to compensate for the page number being in the margin?
To troubleshoot in Word: are there any extra tab characters (the arrow shape) in the footer?
Is the right tab for that position line up with the margin?
On the ruler, does the right side indent line up with the right margin?
Is the right margin set the same as the other pages in the document?
I know that’s not a simple answer, it’s hard to know without seeing the document.
I hope this has helped. You can comment back if you have any other questions.
Good luck, Marty!

I am in the process of finsihing my dissertation. I noticed that when I was ready to send it in for review, the page numbers on some of the pages were not placed correctly when printing.

I had to make some of the pages landscape in order for the tables to fit the page. When I look at them in Word or PDF, they look fine, but when I print the document for binding, the page number is in the right hand margain and not at the bottom. Unfortantely, the university will not publish the document like this.

I am using MS Word 2007 and wanted to know how I can correc the pages?

Thank you in advance.
