Strange Printing Problem (Scaling Issue)

Post by monstordh »

I've been using Mellel a few years now and never had this problem until now and only with one document. Whenever I try to print, the scaling of the page is reduced. No matter what I do I can't seem to get it to print at 100% size. I have it set up to traditional letter size in with the layout being portrait mode. Nothing special. When I attempt to print it appears as if it is trying to print a 2-up layout for landscape mode (see attached image), but with only one page per sheet. I've compared both the page layout and the print settings to other files, but I can't find any differences. Does anyone know what might be going on here?

As I have been looking at this printed page, I'm wondering if it might be trying to leave room to print the document comments on the left side. If so, is there any way to turn this feature off?

Pretty sure this is related to Mellel trying to print comments (which were deleted). Is there any way to turn off the printing of comments?

I haven't been able to duplicate the problem -- when I delete comments, Mellel prints my test page correctly
but
I have a suggestion: try clicking View/Annotations Pane to turn off display of comments.
Does this solve the problem?

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
