printing e-mails from Windows Mail

Hi
I've just started using Windows Mail/ Vista and found when I'm prining off
e-mails from Windows Mail, the margin on the left hand side of the page is
larger than normal which cuts off about half an inch of text. I didn't have
this problem previously when using Outlook Express.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed so it prints the full page.

Open Internet Explorer (browser)>file menu>page set up>the default setting
for margins is 19.05mm.

I have my left & right margins set to 5mm

I forgot to mention, WM printed text size is also controlled in IE, at
view>text size.

HTH?

Re: printing e-mails from Windows Mail

Hi Steve
That worked, although I described the problem incorrectly. I noticed the
margins were set at zero initially leading to the text 'overflowing' the page
Cheers

Re: printing e-mails from Windows Mail

Hi
Can you please tell me how to get to the file menu drop-down to get to the
page set up as I can't find it anywhere. I'm using IE8.
Thanks
