Here's the best workaround that I've discovered so far. I have five really large (400+) page documents that I'm constantly revising and that are only printed once or twice a year. First, I've set my default page style to include a very thin (0.02 pt wide) light gray border around the entire printed area of the page. Set the distance from the border to the text in the page to zero. Then, shaded the background of my headers and footers to have a very light gray background, so as to be able to distinguish the main page from the header and footer. It will take less than a minute to get rid of these when printing. For draft printing, it doesn't make any difference whether these added things print. By the way, in Apple's Pages word processor, margins and header and footers can be shown or made invisible via the "Show Document Layout" under the View menu. Hmmmn. Wonder why they do that if it's such a useless thing? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LO-3-5-Can-t-see-page-margins-in-Writer-tp3744148p3744734.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
