Default page size

Please help me with this. I cannot for the life of me get the right margin
to be at the 1/2 inch it is set to be. When I print the invoice that I
created, it is about an inch wide on the right. I have used the page
preview and moved margins and page size around, but to no avail. I am
stuck. Thanks in advance, Jeff

Let us assume that after subtracting your left and right margin you are left
with 6 inches of printable area. Now if you have only one column to print
which is 5-1/2 inch wide then you will get 1 inch of margin at the right (1/2
left due to the size of the column and 1/2 your right margin).

Is that the case? If not then does the printer cut off your last column...?

If the situation is as described by Sheeloo (print content narrower than
print space), then you can get equal left & right margins by clicking Center
horizontally on the Margins dialog.

Please don't multi-post. crosspost instead. As to the answer it is to
size your columns so as to just fill the space between yor margins.
