Old Posts : New Thoughts 3

I've never used the word poppycock before, or since this post. I kind of hate myself.

-------------------------------
is it just me or are the pre-set margins and spacing in MS-Word getting bigger? it used to be that I'd write a doc and it would fill 90% of a page. Now its more like 75%.

Out of the box I have margins of 1" on top and bottom, 1.25" on left and right, and Times New Roman 12pt font. Is that what it used to be? I have office 2003, somebody with office 2k should look.

If my assertion that it has increased is correct this must be the result of paper companies lobbying Microsoft to increase them so we use more paper - under the guise of "it's more readable". Poppycock!
