I have searched the website quite hard for information on adjusting the margins when printing the result set from a query but have come up with very little. There was something vaguely related way back in 2004 but I presume that is out of date. There was one inquiry and a reply from Jane in May 2007 that doesn't exactly fill me with hope! It seemed Jane was saying that there was no means of altering the margin setup.
The problem is that any printed output from a query result set comes out with the content tight to the edges of the paper - no margin at all. I have tried with all of the printers installed in my system, including three or four different PDF printers but all give the same unacceptable result. None of the page setup tweaks on any printer will allow me to alter this. Nor can I find anything within FH itself that will allow me to modify the margin width away from zero.
I find it hard to believe that in such a sophisticated , feature-packed and developed pice of software (I am running v. 3.1.2) this aspect of its end product is so crude.
If this has been discussed at any length before, I apologise for bringing it up but in that case would someone kindly direct me to it. If it has not, can anyone please give me some help in getting over the drawback. If there is no current solution, why does it seem not to have been firmly entered as a wishlist item? Does anyone else find this disappointing or am I making a fuss about nothing? The paucity of forum traffic on this subject would suggest the latter - in which case I'll shut up!

Margins on printed output
Doesn't look like it's changed, I don't often print queries. Only quick way around might be to simply copy the results to Excel or Open Office Spread and print them from there.
