Sergey,

Ah, yes. I forgot that WYSIWYG printing is not supported yet. This makes

a lot of sense. It would be better, actually, to rely on RVPrint and print

preview, and just set the ruler margins to near zero -- maybe just enough

so the user can see (approximately) where the margins begin and end. I also

like the TRuler demo where the author draws lines in the edit control to

show the user (again, approximately) where the margins and the actual page

end are located.

I will work with this for a while and see what I can come up with.
