I don't know about TeXview, but the other 3 apps you mention all have  
this feature. Its in the format->page layout menu choice.  Preview  
doesn't have it, which is annoying.  Neither does WordPerfect, but  
then that's hardly surprising.  Much too obvious.

You're right, though, it probably should be a print panel option  
rather than (or perhaps in addition to) a page layout option.
