A question for anyone with some experience with Word for Windows:

	I'm an experienced user of Microsoft Word and Mac Word so the shift
to Word for Windows was pretty natural (so, I haven't read the manuals).
	I was wondering why the screen, doesn't reflect what is one the
paper.  The problem I ran into was that I had changed the font to Courier
10 pt and for some reason, the screen (and the print previewer) would show
the right margin as being at about the 5" mark on the paper even though the
margin was set to 7".  Now, at first, I thought there was some setting problem
but when I printed it, it actually did extend out to the 7" margin.  I don't
understand why, in VGA mode, the program didn't show me that either on the
page or the print previewer?
	Could it be because I had the printer set to an EPSON 9-pin?  I tend
to think that it isn't, but it's the only reason that came to mind.
