Brendan, thank you for your answere.
I am a little bit surprised that FTC does not offer "What you see is what you
get" in Page View Mode. The text in the "Page View Mode" looks like it would be
printed as shown on screen. Currently it is a major drawback that FTC reformats
the output and ignores the choosen page size and page margin settings.
On the other hand you invested so much time into FTC and it gives much
possibilities. FTC is a great word processing control. It should not be too
hard for us to make the changes to print a page as shown on screen.

This is a matter of perspective on what you want to accomplish in?
your end application. When you print in Word or Pages, the output?
is reformatted to match the orientation selected in the page setup?
dialog. So if your display is set for portrait and you print in?
landscape, the output will be reformatted. Apple's Pages takes the?
extra step to automatically reset the orientation in the display?
as soon as you change it. It is the responsibility of the end?
application to coordinate the display and the selected print?
orientation. If the user chooses landscape orientation, all you?
need to do is flip the page height and page width and update the?
display. How much support you want implement is up to you and what?
you deem best. In the demo application I don't change the settings?
in the display because I choose to do it that way for the demo.?

When you print, you print at the specified resolution in the?
PrinterSetup object. It should not matter.?
