Print preview and print different from screen

Print preview and print different from screen

(OP)
When I make a drawing in SW2004 sp3 the print preview is different from what I see on the screen.  For instance, if I have a note that is close to the border, on the screen it appears correct but in the print preview or when I print the note may go over the border.  I have tried different fonts, both true type and non true type, it doesn't seem to make a difference.  Thanks

RE: Print preview and print different from screen

This is just a video issue, nothing to be to concerned about, you just have to zoom into the area at which the text crosses the line, and move the text. Try moving up to the latest SP.

RE: Print preview and print different from screen

We have had this same problem here with all pc's and all SW versions. Don't know why.
