I have a Mac at home with an old imagewriter, but I have access to a LW+ at
school.  Frequently, I do word processing with MacWrite (sometimes Word 1.05)
at home and then use the LW+ at school for final printouts.

Often times, the length of a document (in pages) is important to me (or at 
least to the professor in question :-) ).  However, MacWrite (and Word 1.05
too?) formats documents differently for the IM and the LW+.  This causes my
papers to mysteriously change lengths when I go to make the final copy.  This
is very annoying.

How can I fool MacWrite into formatting the document for the LW+ even though
I don't have one hooked up?  I've tried hooking up AppleTalk (via the control
panel, even though it does not exist) and then choosing the LW+ with the chooser
(even though there is no LW+ hooked up to the AppleTalk network which wasn't
there in the firstplace) and then doing page setup.  This causes MacWrite to
format for the LW+ _on_ _the_ _screen_, but obviously, I have no way of printing
this on my IM because the Mac thinks it's supposed to use a LW+.

Is there some way to fool MacWrite (as in the above paragraph) and still be able
to print that out on my IM at home?
