Hello,
   I was just playing with the mm macros having converted a
document from the ms format.  I noticed that I get a cut mark
at the start of each page.  This seems very silly as it messes
up my otherwise neat page.  I also noticed that I get a large area
of white space at the top of the mage.  Not very nice to look at, and
overall, the ms macros do a better job.  Does everyone live with this or
do you have a neat way around the problem?

When I used ms I didn't need to re-define any macros at all.  With mm
I'm already redefining two and I've only printed one document.
