atw: Re: VBA/Word2000 Gurus

I always just avoided the problem.

I created one PDF from an A4 document that just had a large bottom margin
(half an inch larger than we normally would have).

When our collegues in the USofA printed the A4 PDF (with large margin) onto
their letter sized printers, it just all fitted - and than meant our paging
was exactly the same.

Since A4 is thinner than Letter, they ended up with an OK bottom margin and
slightly wide right margin. This all looked OK.

I think to do it "properly" you would add a copy of the Distiller printer,
and call it X, then set the margins there. Then create a macro that picks
the appropriate "printer".  I think we decided against this method because
printer reflow did occasionaly work against us.

Cheers,
Margaret
