Christopher is correct. Page margins, are dictated by pagesizes.txt.
There's a section in the user manual describing what each parameter
is...

My understanding (on FinMac 2005b, anyway) is that the Wizard gets its 
page sizes from "pagesizes.txt" which is a file in the Component Files 
folder. You can edit it in a text editor to make sure that YOUR 
favourite page is formatted correctly. I changed the left margin from 
288 EVPU to 144 EVPU to match the other three margins when printing 
8.5x11.
