Setting Paper Size and Margins
While an increasing amount of documents are distributed electronically, without paper, and read on
screen, periodically you may need to commit your document to paper. The dimensions of your
paper are determined in the Page Setup dialog and the margins of the document within the limits of
that page are determined on a “per section” basis using the tools of Nisus Writer Pro.
The Page Setup dialog you see is entirely dependent on the printer you have. The following
explanation uses an HP Photosmart C6100 as the “default” printer driver.

When the Page Setup dialog appears, the dialog displays information and choices specific to the
printer to which you have connected your Macintosh. Use this to customize specific printer options.

Pro.

comparable to the vast majority of printers, but because it happens to be available.
