As I said in an earlier posting, getting things to present on the paper
appears to be an arcane art...
Both paper sizes RO and Win show as A4.
To test, I'm using the exact same OvPro document in both OvPros.
On the Win side it is 210 x 297mm and that's it, no dialogue for anything
else, as in theory the Win app being used to created the document sets the
x,y margins etc. (I think, probably...)
If I use a RO paper size of 210 x 297mm and don't touch the margins
dialogues, then the printed page is positioned incorrectly, too far right
by 4-6mm and down some mm cutting off the bottom of the page.
If I re-jig the RO paper size to be 204 x 290mm, then, to within a gnats
wotsit a page printed from OV-RO is identical to a page from OV-Win.
And that now holds true for all my Ov document templates. (So far).
Bhaaaa!
