Default Displaying document settings

Is there any way to display the various document settings in the body
of the document so that they print?

I'm referring to paper size, orientation, margins, etc.


There's nothing built in for that (you can set an option to print
document properties, but that's the information in the File
Properties dialog, not the things you mentioned).

A macro could collect the information and add it to the document. But
there's a problem: Those settings are on a per-section basis, and many
others are on a per-paragraph or per-character basis. If the document
isn't uniform throughout, what would you want it to print in the
summary?
