You know, I'd just like software to actually do what I set it to. I
have some things to print that I'd like them to print neatly, but they
don't.
I set margins that are well within the printing area of my printer (it
can print to about 5mm to each edge of the paper, but I give it a good
2cm border), but the program always slices off the top third of the the
first line of text (and it has started printing that butchered top line
2cm down into the page).
I ask the print dialogue to shrink the page to 90% (to give me
hole-punching space to store the document), and centre it in the page,
but it top-lefts it.
This is basic stuff that other computers have been doing for twenty
years, or more. Is it that hard to get it right?

anything wrong with it, but everyone else knows Windows is a disease
