Oddly, I can't set anything apart from 25.4 mm margins on your program. I 
can set one of the margins how I like, but a soon as I tab to the next 
(or just click on it) the one I just changed reverts to 25.4 mm. I was 
going to see what happened if I printed an image with zero width margins 
all round.

PS: and OTT: Knute, I've just been watching a BBC program about D-Day 
technology, which showed shots of Horsa troop-carrying gliders landing, 
seen from the ground. I don't think I've even seen such steep approaches 
(the Horsa could manage a 1:2 approach angle) or such low level and 
sudden rotations into the flare. The film is here:

though I don't know if you'll be able to see it as the BBC often limits 
viewing the the UK. However, I'm told there are a lot of videos of Horsas 
on U-tube. Well, there are, but most are pretty bad. This is one of the 
better ones:
