Change the preset print margins in TextEdit

Because of its Unicode support, TextEdit is my favorite editor, but for months now the inability to change the print margins from their default 25-mm settings had been driving me crazy.

This evening it suddenly dawned on me that the solution was trivial. I opened the TextEdit.pbproj project in the /Developer -> Examples -> Appkit -> TextEdit folder, changed the hard-wired "72" values in Document.m to "36," and hit the run button. Presto! Problem solved!

[robg adds: This worked for me in XCode, though the button is labeled "Build and Go," not "Run."]
