I was creating a top folding Card. The picture and words on the front page
looked OK on the screen as well as Print Setup. However when I went to Print
Preview it showed about a 1/2 inch right margin. I printed it anyway, and
there is just too much empty border. I want to push the picture over to the
right. I tried changing the margins, even went to zero. But no luck. All
the other sides of the cards centered OK, just the first side didn't center.
Just for you information, I also grouped everything.

Sounds like your printer has a minimum margin of ½" for the right edge
(bottom of the sheet) of your card. It's the same for my HP BusinessJet
1200.

The best solution with these margin limitations is to make the margin the same
on the left and right (landscape). This will center your objects.
