How do you control the margins in TextEdit? I am trying to create a manual which includes some screen snaps which fit on A4 paper, but TextEdit persistently has fat margins and won't print the images that are wider than width allowed by the margins.

Dec 03, 2015  Select the file whose margins you want to change. Check the 'Ignore Rich Text Commands' option box. Click 'Okay'. Second, change the margins RTF codes In the header of the document you will see a line that specifies the margins. This line will probably being this way: ' margl1440'. Step 1, Open a Microsoft Word document. To do so, double-click the blue app that contains or is shaped like a W. Then click File at the top of the screen and Open. To create a new document, click New in the file menu.Step 2, Click the Layout tab. It's at the top of the window.Step 3, Click Margins. It's on the left side of the tool bar.

The screen grabs appear on screen but when I print the document the wider images do not print although they leave a gap in the text equal to their height. I have: Adjusted the preferences: • for window width which is in No of Characters (how wide is a character when you are using rtf?) • checked Wrap to window which shows a page view but the margins don't change • I have created an entire new page in Page Setup with fixed margins and selected it but nothing changes Mac Help says the margins can be altered by dragging the page margin markers in the ruler, but they will not drag outside what seems to be the default margins, This wouldn't help with top and bottom margins anyway.

• Go to Edit > Adobe PDF Presets. To install Bug Press job option: • Download Bug Press job option. Pexport for mac from windows photoshop. • Click ' Load' • Navigate to 'BUG PRESS_noconvert' and click ' Open' • Then click ' Done' To use Bug Press job option: • Go to File > Save As.

I have tried using Acrobat PDF as the printer but again I get no further options and nothing changes. I am at my wits end.

TextEdit is almost temptingly useful except for the weird UI. Anyone have a clue how this sucker works. TextEdit is not a Word Processor or a Page Layout Program. Checkboxes word for mac 2017 document. That is the the long and short of it.

You simply cannot make the printed margins smaller than I believe.5'. It just won't happen. No matter what you set the margins it will always print down to that size. Try a different program, one meant to have lots of custom formatting options. One thing I found quite usable is to make a formatted document in AppleWorks (Classic Mac OS for me) and 'print' to a PostScript file (.ps) which I open in Preview and save to a PDF.

All the formatting remains and the margins are whatever I want them to be and I have a PDF file. Changing margins a piece of cake! In TextEdit is is reasonably easy to change the margins to nearly anything you want-- down to the very edge of the paper. The other people who responded to your question who said it couldn't be done, just don't realize how easy it is. First, open the file viewing the RTF codes • Open TextEdit.

• Do a Command-O and look at the Open dialog box. • Select the file whose margins you want to change.

• Check the 'Ignore Rich Text Commands' option box. • Click 'Okay'.

Second, change the margins RTF codes • In the header of the document you will see a line that specifies the margins. This line will probably being this way: ' margl1440'.

The 'marg' refers to 'margin', and the letters that follow it stand for the margin sides: 'l' = left, 'r' = right, 't' = top, 'b' = bottom. I believe that 1440 equals 1 inch. So, 20 equals one pixel on a 72 dpi screen. • Change the numbers to your liking. • Reopen the document (without checking the 'Ignore Rich Text Commands') and 'presto': you've got your margins changed. Piece of cake.

Click to expand.I wouldn't call that 'easy'. It really doesn't address the issue anyway as you'd have to carry around your own personal version of TextEdit and update it with each installation etc. The way TextEdit and many iLife programs work seems to be arse about face anyway. Settings must be set before changes for instance and do not apply to what you are looking at, styles that appear in documents but have no implementation method etc. Bizarrely non-Mac behaviour. We'll have to wait and see what 'Pages' in iOffice will look like. My bet is Apple will get bored with it before it fixes all the flaws.
