I am working on a p2p network that had three pc's. 2 win98 and one w95. I built a new wxp machine to replace the w95. I backed up all my word 2000 docs and reinstalled them on the new xp machine. Now when I print the word docs some of them loose the right margin or bottom depending on orientation.This happens from the w98 and xp machine. I have done the following.
Installed the latest drivers for w98 and xp.
Tried setting the right margin, at o margin it shows a little more text.
Tried printing from wordpad
I tried the scale to paper size setting

this sounds like the printer driver or a bug in the printer driver to me. is it the same printer you used with the win9x machine? and you say you installed the latest xp printer drivers? what printer model is this? bet it is inkjet.
try this for a test on one document:
in Word, go to file/page setup/paper size/pick custom (at end of list) try say 8.25 by 10.75. just a little smaller than normal. hope i don't have this reversed. anyway. then print to fit and see what you get. if this works it is bug in printer driver that thinks it can't print all the way to edge or something. research at printer mfg website or try another xp's version of the printer driver if mfg's one gives error or vice versa

Please note, your question was a little difficult to understand. I think you have your words a little muddled.

LOOSE = the opposite of TIGHT
LOSE = the opposite of WIN
