Re: Setting page margins for printing doesn't work?

Looking at the Page Setup shows

that the margins are set to bizarre numbers (8.33mm at left, 9.66mm at
top, 1.1mm at right, 7mm at bottom), certainly not one inch.


BTW, if I set the margins to 0 in Page Setup, close and reopen Page Setup,
they are set to 0.83, 0.96, 1.1, 0.7, which is kind of reasonable for the
printable area of my printer.

Hasn't it occurred to you that when you have set the margins via Page Setup
they are displaying margins in cm.

Therefore 8.33mm, 9.66mm, 1.1mm,7mm is exactly the same as 0.83, 0.96, 1.1,
0.7

Why not just define the body width in the css print style sheet and set the
margins up there.
Mind you, remember the users can over-ride this if they have set different
margins on their computer.
