Shrink page count

Hi. When using shrink page count in the preview pane, might it be possible in the future to choose between a combination of font size adjustment, margin width, and number of pages you want to end up with? I think at present that page count reduction always assumes shrinking is done by font reduction alone, and keeps margin width constant. Would be a nice feature I think. Regards, John

I personally have no idea how these characteristics could be combined (could be used) by the “Shrink Page Count” feature. The program should know in which situations this or that characteristic (font size, page margin, etc) should be changed.

Also I am not sure that changing page margins programmatically by this feature is a good idea. As a rule page margins are a fixed predefined characteristic of a document like page width or page height.

Anyway thanks for a brainstorming idea.

OK. Fair enough. I raise it because WordPerfect has been doing it for a long time. Cheers. John
