Set Printer Left Margin

[briancoats]

I was printint out of a Rich Text Box useing the .SelPrint MEthod with all text selected. This is wonderful for printing the contents of the box. Life is good. Until my client says, "Hey, if I use my hole punch I am goin to punch out data. I need a 3/4" margin."

Is there a way to programattically change the margin for the printer at runtime?

I figured out a way

In case you need to do this too...

RTB.selstart = 0
rtb.sellength = len(rtb.text)
rtb.selindent = 400 ' OR appropriate number for you
rtb.selHangingIndent = 1 ' causes rest of paragraphs to
' align with indent
rtb.selPrint(Printer.hDC)

MAybe this will save someone else some time
