On this Site:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/search/vparamsearch.jhtml?searchId=25520&tfsection=param_table&templateId=3&showAssociated=false

is a very wide Table. With the initial setting  of 0.5 margin left and right, the
last column is nearly hidden (on paper and prevue). Increasing the margin makes it 
worse. By setting the margin to 0 for left and right, nearly all is displayed,
only the right line is hidden.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the mentioned site
2.verify the page setup to "shrink to fit page width" and the left and right
margin set to 0.5
3.start the print prevue


Actual Results:  
The outermost right column showed only one caracter width.

Expected Results:  
The whole width of the table should have been displayed.

By changing the left and right marginsetting to 0, the display was nearly OK.
I can confirm this with version 1.4 under Windows 2000.

http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/services/netzdienste/modem-isdn/radiuszonen/ includes
a large table. Even with margins set to 0 the table is cutted on the right side.
The output is shrunk to 60% with margins 0 and 10 mm (Millimeters). An
apropriate value would be 50% (for 0 mm) and 40% (for 10 mm).
(There is only a small difference between print preview and the printed output
which shows a little bit more.)

(OK, there is a workaround, but I think a major feature is broken!)
