One of the things that I do when I set up my margins is to have a bigger margin on the left than on the right. (I usually use 30 mm and 15 mm). This permits the user to punch two holes in the paper should he wish to file it. (See Markus Kuhn's webpage at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html).

Dear Stan, Thanks for reposting your article on energy and exercise. I recall reading it and enjoying it some time ago and I have just enjoyed re-reading it now. As you wrote this some time ago, I noticed that it was before you chose to use your own page set-up and used the default Microsoft set-up in inches. Might I suggest that you read the article Page borders inches or millimetres and reconsider how you set your own default page. This two page article explores the cost of your simple decision about the size of the margins that you (and other people) choose for your computer paper printout.
