printing on paper with three holes punched in one side, I'd like to set an
slightly wider margin for that side, but there doesn't seem to be any place

I just started using iTunes - my first goal was to import all of my
CD's and get them onto my new iPod (thanks, Santa)
I thought it would be most convenient to set this up on an older
Windows XP laptop that I have, a Dell Inspiron 8000.  I installed
