I don't think it's a driver etc. problem.  I have been having real
problems with my margins.  It may or may not be related to his problem,
thought.  In regular usage, I set my margins and it wraps the line about
an inch before it looks like it should.  I've taken to setting the
margin about an inch past where I really want it.  Does anyone
know the problem?  (It even does it in plain 10/12 point Tms Rmn)
