WYSIWYG is not true in PM8 - 8/11/2019 8:49:01 PM

Status: offline 		When trying to print half fold cards envelope, I set up my dimensions in my printer (Epson WF-3520) what I see on the computer screen is not what gets printed.
I have been able to "work around" it to some extent, but not exactly.
What is on the screen is cut off on the top and on the right edge.
I have a lot of issues with PM 6 and PM8. Tried a trial version of PM 2019 but that was worse.
I do like the PM6 & 8 Half Fold Greeting cards, (I make them frequently) where each panel is edited individually, as opposed to my PM 12 and PM 2019.
I have not found any Helps for printing that give me the information I need. Tutorials are very limited.
I don't like the PM 6 & 8 where you can only work with one project at a time. Also not being able to copy a clip art to the clip board to use else where.
I like the PM 12 and before where I can save the objects by category.
I understand new programs are different and I have to learn how to navigate in them.
That said, I would like to have a WYSIWYG when it comes to printing custom envelopes. The envelope templates available are few.

In Page Setup, do the numbers for your four margins look correct? When I did an envelope, it printed correctly even though the preview to the left of the print settings looks very wrong. However, when I click the Preview button, I get a true preview and this is what printed for me.




(Note that this C5 envelope project is set to Actual Size, Full Page)

I don't like this either, but when I select a clipart that I think I'd like to use again, I can click the Add to Favorites button so it's easy to re-access.

Another option is to Edit| Change Project Size/Type and save under a new name. For example, after saving a greeting card project, change its project type to a brochure and rename this project. Your brochure will have all the same clipart.
