It is all well and good that you do this, BUT someday it is going to jump up and bite you if you're using a laser printer. This "minimum margin" setting is based on the printer manufacturer's recommendation. The reason is simple! While a laser printer may be able to drop toner closer to the edge of the paper, it doesn't necessarily follow the the FINISH section of the printer can adequately FIX the toner to the page. I have a client who thought he was being CUTE, and made the setting zero, and controlled the margins in each document. Well, his people began to use the margins closer and closer until one day the printer stopped working. There was enough toner in the FINISH are to fill a toner cartridge. So beware of being too cute with these settings. Another consideration is that some manufacturers, especially HP, are constantly tweaking their hardware to reduce the minimum margins. Thus, for example, the HP4's minimum margin has changed by HP, reducing it by almost .15" since the release of the printer. WP rarely gets notices of these changes, and the driver are not updated unless the manufacturer does so. The Windows drivers on the other hand, are usually updated regularly. The moral, consider minimum margins carefully before making changes. shattuck@execpc.com via Windows 95 CMPQwk 1.42 #329 ...

Information typed with left justification equals 62 char/line. If you use full justification you will get 65 char/line. Left justification will use force words which are too long to snap to the next line. As such one line can have 63 char and another 52 on it. --- PCBoard (R) v15.21/M 5 ---------------* Origin: HandiNet B B S Virginia Beach, VA (804)496-3320 (1:275/429) * Origin: The Black Bag * Memphis, TN (1:123/410) |
