I have tried to just increase the margins on the sides from 1 inch to 3/4 & 1/2 ” and change font sixe to 9 or 10 but the results are a gigzaw puzzel.

This is a rather amusing substitution. What interests me about it is that the perps apparently do not have the image of a jigsaw cutting a picture into puzzle pieces in mind when they hear people say “jigsaw puzzle”. Conceivably a case for eggcornicity could be made if we had reason to believe that the perps were assuming “Gigzaw” to be the name of the inventor of the “gigzaw puzzle”, but that doesn’t seem real likely.

Of course, they might think the tool is called a gigzaw, too.
