Phil - Your suggestion is well taken. However, when I use 8 1/2x14 I have no 
problems other than to remember where to cut off the message. Anne

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.

Subj: Justification

I think I might be able to nip this problem in the bud.
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.
