I believe you!  This is in line as to what I wrote you yesterday, that if
the line was too long for the paper size and then the points would be
printed off in space except the whole line is too long and the points are
falling off.  I'm surprised they did not do a wrap around and wind up on a
separate line under the other log info.  I have had this unintentional wrap
around happen to me, or have had my columns not line up, and have had to
experiment with different fonts and type sizes until I got everything the
way I wanted it.  Depends on what printer, fonts, etc., you are using.  I
can have a log, summary sheet, etc., print perfectly at home then try it at
work (during lunch hour of course) on a laser jet and not print properly.
