[QUOTE="sarahpeller, post: 1525228, member: 305345"] [b]Still having trouble...[/b] Yes, I'm referring to the final size of the image. The image (in Word) is sized to 6x11. I don't think I need to set my printer parameters because I'm not printing yet, right? I'm just trying to save as PDF. The tricky thing about this process is that the original file was created in InDesign, then converted to Word with a program called Wondershare PDF Editor. It looks good in Word. It appears to be the right size, but when I save to PDF it seems to reformat it for an 8.5x11 piece of paper with huge margins. I tried to go in and change the margins. They're currently set at Top=1'', Bottom=.83", Left=1.25", Right=1". Strange. I tried to change them all to .25", but get this error message: "Settings you chose for the left and right margins,column spacing, or paragraph indents are too large for the page width in some sections." I found this page, [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813990]You receive an error message when you change a document that is formatted for columns in Word[/url], which seems to say that this is a bug in the program. But it doesn't help when I try to use their advice to get around it. Paper size is currently set at 6.5 x 11.5 inches. Frustrating! Thanks for your help :) [/QUOTE]
