Change the preset print margins in TextEdit
Authored by: Cameroon on May 02, '04 10:21:57AM

Ok, for anyone savvy enough to do a little leg-work with XCode and Interface Builder, I've built a version of TextEdit that provides a "Page Margins" sheet that lets you set the margins.

Here's the catch, I'm not about to distribute a binary of Apple's application. However, I will distribute the instructions on how to build the modified version of TextEdit as well as a nib file I created that is required and an AppleScript to perform the actual build (selects the right build style and copies the result to your desktop).

Note: The same procedures should work with Project Builder, but the AppleScript will not.

The archive containing the instructions, the AppleScript and the nib file is located at http://homepage.mac.com/cjbehm/files/textedit_mod.zip

My e-mail is in the instructions for those who try and have difficulties.

I have been trying to follow the instructions provided, but they don't seem to work with Xcode 2.2. Anybody know how to update / modify them ?
