I'm creating a pamphlet with four columns on 14 X 8.5 paper. Everything looks fine on the monitor; however, when I print on the legal size paper the first column gets shaved off, and the columns are not centered. How can I correct this problem? I'm new to PageMaker so please don't assume that I know something very basic.

Are you taking into consideration the non-printing borders of the printer? Most printers are not capabale of printing to the edge, and will cut off the margins if your text flows into the non-printing area.
When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

Hi, 4832
What Carl said…
To see the limits of your printer's printing area, create a 14"×8½" page in PageMaker. Then create a rectangle larger than the page to cover the whole page, and fill it with 10% grey.
Print the page. You will then see the margins where nothing is printed. You may be surprised how wide they are -up to 10 or 12 mm.

Even Kinko's has these limitations when printing. The way to get edge to edge printing is to use an offset press, not a printer or copier. Or, you can print on a larger sheet of paper (say 11 x 17) and trim the edges. Of course you can see how big of a hassel that would quickly become.
