Ginnie,

Entering info into what application?

Check margins?

Example:

Outlook/DOS... have a wrap at 80 characters by default

The setup is fine - anything else I can do - Thanks - the setup is the same
as on my desktop - have xp - sp2
Thanks again for any help

You don't tell us what program is giving you the error,
but it appears to be your email program.

Go to IE and check page setup margins.
I suspect you have the right margin setting too large.
IE sets the margins for both the Internet and email printing

Thanks - I am using AT&T Yahoo mail - do not use IE - I checked IE - and
could not find that setup area.
Thanks

Before doing a reformat/install, download and burn BartPE to a CD and
use that to copy needed files to a second HD. There doesn't seem to be
a way to see USB drives with BartPE. There are plugins available though.
