------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Sep 23 09:10:06 -0700 2005 ------- In my opinion, "reassigned as RFE "Ignoring document printer settings as optional application setting"" would have been the right thing to do. I know that we can't change dumbness; and especially on WORD somehow everyone seems to craft 'Letter', even in countries where you can hardly buy that format. I don't remember which other apps I had in mind 3 years ago, but my own, 2 sen, personal preference is still to prevent auto-rescaling. ft writes correctly: "We cannot just alter the document format." Right. And when you auto-scale, this is what you do; though ft perceives this just the other way round. I maintain that I'd like to have a knob to let the printer print what is on the softcopy from the upper left corner of the document 1:1. If the printout extends too far to the right, bad luck. If the last 3 cm remain forcibly empty, another one bad luck. A document set up with fixed margins, font size, for me and in here needs to come out with exactly these margins and this font; even though it prints beyond the paper. I couldn't care less. We prescribe precise margins and fonts; but after that auto-rescale I have too many people jumping at me that 'the printer doesn't print properly, my margins and even font size changed'. True. I have to bash myself. Could I take a ruler and ask these dim-wits how they want to fit their layout on 21 cm of width, *they* blush. This is why I very much like the printer to print 1:1.
