    I had a crazy problem with overhead.
    
    I had been working overheads fine... then all of a sudden
    I received an error message
    "  %DVC-W-OFFPAGE, cannot set text outside page boundaries  "
    
    This was a simple basic overhead page.   I had not set
    page boundaries.   It passed thru to [printing file]
    and proceeded to give me a blank page.
    
    WHAT HAPPENED??         After one half hour of banging my
    head against the wall ( I kept getting the same message with
    other files)   I passed all my input over to another person
    (on another machine) who processed the page with NO PROBLEM.
    
    I am somehow back in business.   Was It A FLUKE???

    I would have to know if there are different versions of DOCUMENT
    on the different machines? What base level(s) are you using?
    
    Did you also get messages from %TEX ?
    
    Do you have any local logical name differences?
    
    Check the definition of DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS on each machine.

| 411.2 | horizontal_offset=offpage? | CLOSET::DEVRIES | Those are features, not bugs | Fri May 22 1987 10:06 | 8 | 
|     Did you define a symbol for $DOCUMENT/DEVICE=HORIZONTAL_OFFSET=xxx in
    order to move some output on the page, and then use that symbol
    for other documents?  Particularly, if you did that with a value
    too large, you could push the text completely off the page but 
    would not get errors out of the text formatter, only the device 
    converter.  (Label this one a long shot.)
