A gentleman mailed me a request for information about my setup, so I'm 
breaking the taboo against following up one's own post in order to add 
the info to my request for help.

My platform consists of:  A2000 (rev 6.x), 40mHz GVP G-Force 030/881, 8mb 
32-bit RAM, 1mb CHIP, 2mb Retina Z2 card, 730mb Quantum Lightning HD.

I have had this problem w/ the margins since installing FW r1;  I'm now 
running FW r3 and I've tried re-intalling, which is no help.

I had this problem running under OS 2.04, and I'm having it now under 3.1. 

I have this problem on a Citizen MSP-10 printer using the EpsonX/EpsonXOld
drivers, and I have this problem w/ a Canon BJ 200, in both BJ-10 mode 
and in Epson LQ mode, using the CA/AT drivers, and using Wolf Faust's 
CanonShop driver(s).

Regarding driver settings, I've tried page lengths from 60-66 lines, and 
margins from 1/80 to 6/74, tho theoretically the WP should be setting all 
the margins.


Again, this is a call for HELP.  Woody, I know you read everything here
that mentions your products:  calling your phone support has been costly,
time-consuming and ineffective.  I'm not criticising, I just want my copy
of your word processor to work like a word processor, not like a fancy
text editor.  I've upgraded twice;  I've been patient;  I've tried going 
thru channels;  *PLEASE* help me resolve this!

...sounds like MicroSoft a bit, doen't it?
