Margins

[Chris]

When I try to set my margins in Word Pad to 0.25, my
right margin is set at 0.46 and when I change it to 0.25
it automatically goes back to 0.46. The page is set on
landscape but even if it is set on portrait (bottom
margin)it will still default to 0.46. Can anyone tell me
why and can I fix this? How?

This is because WordPad is intelligent enough to check with your printer
driver as to what margins it allows.
Due to the way inkjet printers work, the bottom margin is normally larger
than the side and top margins. This is the right (or sometimes left) margin
when printing landscape, due to the way the page is rotated.
