After last night's success I opened AppleWorks and put in my
preferences. Bad move - Page Setup failed. By a process of
elimination I found the troublesome preference was Fractional
Character Widths. If I open one of my older documents in AppleWorks,
went to preferences, turn off Fractional Character Widths, click Make
Default and OK then all is well.
This is strange because I recall in earlier forums about pre-AWKs
6.2 that turning on Fractional Character Widths resolved a margins
problem. I never had the problem on the power PC, but it is
certainly there with intel with the opposite solution.

I think the problem identified below might have started when I
updated to 10.5.5 in mid-September.
Repairing permissions and removing com.apple.appleworks.plist from
the Users Library Preference folder was of no avail.
However, tonight I repeated the procedure but in addition removed
the contents of the AppleWorks folder from the same Preference
folder. Restarted, launched AppleWorks and Page Setup now works.

Running an intel iMac on 10.5.5
I can't remember when the problem with AppleWorks 6.2.9 started on
the iMac but here it is: I opened an existing document and then
selected Page Setup. Made my choice and clicked OK. The contents
of the document seemed to slip to the left and leave me with a dark
grey page. At the time I was using an OKIPage 8 printer that is on
my wife's iBook G4 on 10.4.11 power PC. There is no driver for the
OKI on intel. Assuming this was the problem I tried the same
procedure for the Epson Stylus C61 which has a driver on my
computer and is connected to my computer. Same result.
Thinking the existing document might be corrupted in some way I
tried a new document but got the same result.
Suggestions appreciated.
