How can I print the page so that it doesn't run off the side of the paper?

The printed page may appear differently depending upon the fonts
and configuration of your computer. To adapt for this universal problem,
simply select Page Setup from your file menu before you print. Reduce
the size of the print from 100% to something smaller like 80% and you
should find that the printing can be adjusted to fit the page. If you prefer
a larger size font, you may also select to print in landscape format.
