I want to print a page (8.5in wide) with .5in margins left and right.
When I :textwidth = 7in (in LaTeX), I get the regular 1.75in left
margin, and print running off the page. I've looked through both
the TeXbook and LaTeX, and can't find a way to do this. Am I missing
something (like brains)?

Yes, I RTFM, but my eyes ain't too good!

Thanks.
