I think that is the answer. -It has something to do with the document template (Nisus New File or not) and saving. If you create a new document, set your margins, and paste the text into that document, then print... everything is fine and works as it should. Now, save that document or save it as a template. Then try printing it out - back to 1/2 page printing.

Arithmetic

Here's an experiment I tried. I open a new document, which will be A4. Then go to Page Setup and change the size to A5, and then change again, back to A4.

The margins don't change. The rulers in the styles don't change, but the ruler on the page does.

In the original document the right tail was at 546pt. After switching back and forth the right tail is at 72pt + 522pt = 594pt, which is 48pt too far to the right.

This accounts for the text 'slipping' across the page. I can see something similar happening on the vertical axis.

[1] New document, A4
[2] Afer change to A5
[3] After change back to A4

Code: Select all

                 [1]      [2]      [3]

Page	:         A4       A5       A4

Margins:

Inner            72pt     72pt     72pt
Outer            72pt     72pt     72pt
Top              90pt     90pt     90pt
Bottom           90pt     90pt     90pt


Wrap in Style Sheet:

First            0        0         0
Head             0        0         0
Tail             546pt    546pt     546pt


Wrap in Page View:

First            0        72pt      72pt
Head             0        72pt      72pt
Tail             546pt    347pt     522pt

Hope this helps. It looks like a trivial problem with the arithmetic. (And not enough to put me off - I will be buying the program anyway, once these little bugs are sorted out it's going to be the best).
