How can I set minimum margins for a typical printer

How can I print to pdf? It prints your propeitary prn file. I want to simple print a document processed with your layout in a standard readable pdf.

How can I move independent text/graphic blocks around randomly on a page?

Finally can I insert a sizeable spreadsheet into a page?

HI

. . . .  It prints your propeitary prn file . . . .

A .prn file is not a proprietery file of the program, it is a standard  Windows file that is created when you select the Print to File checkbox that appears in the Print dialog boxes on Windows. It contains a set of instructions specific to the printer you have connected.

In the print dialog uncheck the Print to file option as shown below - this example is from a different Xara product, however Page Designer should be similar.
