Description lutimdale 2005-01-31 13:16:43 UTC 
When in print layout view, the grey border around the document uses too much
screen real estate.  Currently, the grey border on the top and on the left is
the width of roughly 2 scroll bars.  It needs to be less... about the width of
one scroll bar.  It should not be more than the width of the tab selector in the
top left of the horizontal rule bar.  See Microsoft Word 2000 for expected
behaviour.

The sideeffect of this is wasted screen real estate.  On smaller resolution
screens, this becomes even more apparent.

Comment 3 haxwell 2005-02-04 18:23:06 UTC 
Confirmed. The grey area is bigger in OOo than Office. I think this qualifies as
an enhancement, rather than a defect, though.

Reassigned to requirements.
