Hi,
	I'm setting the top and bottom margins in Word for windows 2 to 3.0 cm.
	The problem is when I print the top margin comes out 4.1 cm and the 
	bottom is only 2.5 cm!

	My set up is:
		Windows 3.1 (installed over the top of 3.0)
		Word for Windows 2.0
		Epson LQ-550 24 pin printer ( using LQ-850 driver )
		A4 size paper set to tractor feed.
		True type fonts.

	Windows 3.0 or 3.1 did not have a driver for a LQ-550, but the
	printer manual said to use a LQ-850 driver. I've tried to update
	the driver (LQ-850) from windows 3.1 but it is not supplied any 
	more. Should I be using a different driver? There is no problem
	with the page length, the margins just come out wrong. I can't 
	remember having this problem when I was running Word for windows
	2 with Windows 3.0. This is driving me crazy, any help or advice 
	you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

							Thanks in advance

							Stephen
