(From "The Masked Rat Fink"   "Computing and Informatics Yr4")

I have a problem with LDW POWER Spreadsheet and would like to know if any
other users have this problem. The version of LDW that I am running is
UK Version 1.03 (c) 1988, and I have a 520 STFM w/ 1meg.

The problem comes when printing out a spreadsheet (I use 70 line paper
instead of the more usual 66 line paper, although it doesn't seem to matter
how many lines I tell LDW I have!). During printing LDW inserts about 4 or 5
blank lines in the printout (whether to printer or file) in what seemed a
random manner at first, then I noticed that the position of the extra blank
lines seemed to be moving up the page each time I printed, until it reached
the top and then it would cycle round and start from the bottom again!

At the moment to get round it I am printing to a file and then editing it
using a text editor to remove the extra lines before printing.

Also, I have remembered to clear all the possible things that I could either
think of or find in the manual, such as margins etc.

Any help here would be appreciated, I remember seeing a number of people
talk about LDW and so I hope that someone out there has an answer.

Many thanks

Rat.
