Paula, Are you talking about printing? or validating and leaving the file on your computer or uploading it? I only use Page Set-up if I'm going to print something, and then I check Print Preview to see if the margins I've set will allow everything to be showing or will be cut off. As long as everything will be printed, I answer No. When I'm validating, I don' t use Page Set-up but go to Document in the Format file and use that to set both side and top-and-bottom margins in order to make the page breaks come out where they do in the book. Occasionally, but rarely, I've had to use smaller font, or a different font that maybe has smaller letters or less space between letters. I've never made a top or bottom margin less than .5, but I suppose one could. I have found that, especially when there is a lot of dialog, one has to indent between paragraphs rather than skip a line. Once or twice, in all the validating I've done over the past two and a half (I think) years, I've moved a last line from one page to the top of the next, when absolutely nothing else worked. I didn't think that was any worse that moving one half of a hyphenated word to anoher page to join its other half.
