Hi there! I understand that your Word documents used to print fine, but now the right-most text gets cut off when you print using the Tiny Print app. I’d like to help you get this sorted out. Just to make sure I have the right details—are you seeing this issue with all Word documents or only certain ones? Also, does it happen regardless of which printer you use?

Meanwhile, I have a few common things we can check that might cause the right edge of text to be cut off:

1. Check Word’s Page Setup and Margins:
Sometimes margins might be set too narrow or custom, causing text near the right edge to be outside the printable area. In Word, go to Layout > Margins, and select Normal or check that the right margin is at least 0.75 inches.

2. Verify Printer Settings and Paper Size:
The printer preferences can have page size or scaling settings that affect printing. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers, right-click your printer, pick Printing Preferences, and check for page size matches your document (usually Letter or A4). Also, ensure scaling or "fit to page" settings aren’t distorting the print area.

3. Print Preview in Word:
Before printing, use Word’s Print Preview to confirm if the clipping appears there. If it looks fine in preview, but prints wrong, the issue might be with printer drivers or Tiny Print settings.

4. Tiny Print App Page Setup:
Check if Tiny Print’s own page setup or print preferences have changed. Sometimes app updates reset page layouts or margins.

5. Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers:
Outdated or corrupted printer drivers can cause printing quirks. Visit your printer manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers for your model.

6. Try Printing as PDF First:
In Word, select Save as PDF and open the PDF file to print it via Adobe Reader or another PDF app. If the PDF prints fine, the issue is likely linked to Tiny Print or your printer driver rather than Word itself.

If you’ve already tried some of these, let me know which ones, and we can dig deeper. Also, does this happen when printing from other programs, or only Word?

Would you like me to guide you through any of these steps?
