You can create two different style sheets to define your margins- say, 'regular.css', and 'print.css'.  

The 'print.css' file would have a body style with a larger "margin-right:" value:

body  { margin-right: 30pt }

Then, just add these lines to the < HEAD> section of your html page:

< LINK REL="stylesheet" MEDIA="screen" TYPE="text/css" HREF="regular.css">
< LINK REL="stylesheet" MEDIA="print"  TYPE="text/css" HREF="print.css">

 Selecting 'Print' from either the menu bar or the right-click context menu will print using your 'print.css' style sheet.

Or, you may decide to build a separate document and include it with the book, as the default print document, by adding this in the < HEAD> section:

< link rel=alternate media=print href="alternate.doc">

Both the print button and right-click menu option will print the "alternate.doc" (or .rtf file) instead of what's displayed onscreen. Your "alternate.doc" can contain a nicely formatted page, or even a short message that this book cannot be printed.

As always, remove the space after the inital '<' symbol when you paste in these meta tags.  They were added so that the tags would display on the forum.
