- I don't know about TeXview, but the other 3 apps you mention all have
- this feature. Its in the format->page layout menu choice. Preview
- doesn't have it, which is annoying. Neither does WordPerfect, but
- then that's hardly surprising. Much too obvious.
-
- You're right, though, it probably should be a print panel option
- rather than (or perhaps in addition to) a page layout option.
