Hugh, you're very thoughtful with a number ofefforts I can undertake in the effort to get full-width lines onto my screen (and through the printer).   I'm getting at your suggestions ASAP.

I'll note that the suggestion had been made that I increase available resolution to the max.  What that has done is to shrink the displayed "window" well within the screen's boundaries --- but not to shrink the window's contents and brink more text into display.  The resolution had previously been set to call for something very close to the minimum.  I can't now recall what that was to have accomplished.  I hadn't boosted it to the max because of my feeling there'd been some reason for minimizing the resolution demand.  Rather, I'd tried bosting it to something 25%-30% of the scale.  It did have an effect, although not the one I was seeking.  I'll eagerly pass more scoop to you soon as I can.  Thanks again!              ---ed

What is your screen resolution? Higher resolutions permit more horizontal

Monitor controls can be somewhat arcane. Check your manual to be sure you've
maximised the screen area horizontally and vertically.
Try using the "Print Preview" menu in IE to get the entire page tp
print-note the percentage options.

The problem: Frequently I'm moved to attempt downloading (or even simply
viewing) extensive text files. The Common Cause report on John Kerry's
somewhat worrisome record on electronic communications issues. Both online
and in hard copy, I'm missing one or two picas of the right-most text. That
is, after I've done all I can with the horizontal scroll bar.
