How so? Why does absolute positioning make it complicated? What would you do
to "simplify it?" How does this relate to my wanting (not needing) a margin
for aesthetic purposes?

"Most likely?" So you aren't sure? Should I use relative positioning? Will
that give me margins with my original body tag?

A printsheet is a SIMPLE CSS solution to my margins issue? Can you point me
to a sample of one of your print stylesheets that would give me margins.
Aside from vague comments and guesses you haven't demonstrated any depth of
