Hi Rob: The browser gets to decide how to format the page. You can try various CSS media tricks. I'm assuming you've seen at least http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html If not, that's a good place to examine the print media type. You can probably do something with the requirement text by enclosing it in a div with small text and narrow margins, combined with a set of instructions to the user that explain how to set the margins. There will inevitably be annoying edge cases. Generate a PDF if you want complete control of the page layout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
