Problem: I have a running head specified in my spreadsheet. I also have included the &L code in the first cell of the running head. When the spreadsheet prints out, it is still not printing against the edge of the left margin.

Response: If the &L code is in a cell by itself, make sure the width of that cell is set to two characters. Otherwise, the blank spaces that follow the code in the cell will be considered the first characters of the running head and, therefore, push it to the right the same number characters. Another solution is to change the range of the header to include only the cells that contain the actual text of the running head. Then edit the first cell of the running head, move to the beginning of the text using the Word Left key, and enter &L. In other words, make the &L code the first characters of the running head.
