Any graphic artist who has to layout text from someone who grew up using a
typewriter can tell you the problem. The formating has been "hard coded" in the
text. Rather than let the computer handle the formating they used spaces and
tabs to center or indent lines just as you would on an old-fashion typewriter;
the result being that the formating completely falls apart when you try to
print to a different paper size.
You can see this by opening RFC822, for example, in StarOffice or Word and
viewing the non-printing characters. Every space character used to center a
line would have to be manually removed for the document to print well on
another paper size.
