I have written an extensive spreadsheet that requires the Margins to be set
at zero all the way around. In Excel 2003 the margins work fine, however my
laptop uses Excel 07 and the lower margin is set at zero ,but the margin
remains at .50 despite the settings at 0. I have even tried using the
spreadsheet in the 97-2003 versions but the lower margin will not adjust. I
need to get this problem fixed soon because the spreadsheet needs to be ready
by next weekend and that is my only glitch. Please help

Hi,
The MIN margin is governed by the print driver.
Are you using the same printer from both computers?
Different o/s would use different drivers.

Many(most) printers reserve some white space.

Your printer manual may give you an option to change but I doubt it.
