I can understand eliminating visible margins for people who desire that...but why not make it a preference setting? Yes, I already thought of either using a colored background or a border around my writable area, but those things print. That's what I'll probably do, but it's a kludge that should be necessary. I'm a college professor who writes his own teaching materials. Each course features roughly a 400-page Writer document that contains a variety of inline graphical objects created in Draw or Calc and then pasted in as a GDI Metafile. Usually, I need to resize those images and having visible margins REALLY helps that process. And I thought that Apple was the only entity who was making dumb user interface issues like that. Actually, not just Apple. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 in a virtual machine on my Macs (for some specialized tasks)--I can't believe how bad the user-interface is. I used to love the Ubuntu UI. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LO-3-5-Can-t-see-page-margins-in-Writer-tp3744148p3744391.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
