:I have a couple of questions about MS-WORD and printing:
:
:1. Back in the "old days" when I was using Word 1.0, I used a trick
:that allowed me to format a document for the laserwriter and print
:it on an imagewriter without the document's margins being changed.
: . . .
:My question, finally, is this: Is there a way to make Word not scale its
:ruler when changing from LaserWriter to ImageWriter (or vice versa for
:that matter). 

Set "Tall Adusted" in Word's "normal" Print dialog.  This imagewriter
setting will set the page dimensions to match the laserwriter
settings.  This does have to be done for each document.  For this to
take effect, you must "Print", set "Tall Adjusted", and click OK; then
immediately "Cancel" when the next dialog pops up (unless you want a
printed copy then).  Foo.

I have no suggestions for the 50% reduction; I can't make it work
(maybe I should check the manual :-)).
