choices of sizing in IE8 "Print Preview"

In the sizing menu that drops down in Print Preview, we have a limited choice
of sizes. For example, no 75%, no 110%. I realize that there is a
customizing feature, but I wish that someone would offer an add-on to IE8 to
add more size options to the menu.

Also the margin features in Print Preview. Very nice that they can be moved
by the cursor ... but sometimes I want to make sure that the margins of one
document will conform to the margins of another document. It would be very
helpful if the Print Preview also showed the margin settings in numerals -
inches, milimeters, something - so that I can be sure, for example, that the
document has matching left and right margins or that its margins are the same
as another document.

It seems that your post is intended as a suggestion for
Microsoft. This is a public newsgroup and although the servers

I do not agree that the the Print Preview menu offers a "limited
choice" of sizes.

The menu allows you to choose from "Shrink to fit", 30%, 50%,
60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 125%, 150% and 200%. It
follows that you can choose from no less than 12 pre-set options.
If you require additional fine tuning, you can use the "Custom"
option, which will accept any figure between 30% and 999% (in
steps of 1%). In my opinion, that is not a "limited choice"

As far as margins are concerned, I accept that the flexible
margin feature feature does not display numerical settings.
However, Internet Explorer offers the alternative option to set
precise margins - in inches (to three decimal places), or in
millimetres (to two decimal places). The defaults are 0.750
inches or 19.05 mm (all round) - depending upon the regional
settings of your computer.
