"Condensed" may be the incorrect term for what I mean. In Word I can change margins and utilize the entire sheet of paper to print, change fonts and font size, and get rid of unwanted spaces. This is what I mean by condensing -- using less paper and having more text on a sheet. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
