Newbie - Layout question

[mightymice]

For some reason the size of the background changes when I go into layout mode. No matter what I try, I cannot drag it back to regular size.

I have attached a screenshot of the problem in layout mode. I can't seem to get the background back to regular size. When I switch out of layout mode, it expands and looks fine.

Any easy answer to this problem?

Thanks!

It seems to me your layout is the appropriate 37.5 cm wide, no? It looks fine, yes? Layout mode shows the possibilities rather than the result. At least that's my two cents.

It does look fine - except when I look at it in layout mode. 

Layout mode looked the same as all other modes up till a few days ago, now I can't figure out why it looks different.

Your page should have a right hand boarder depending on your page size description. See the orange boarder?

[mightymice]

Yes but I can't seem to click on any borders to expand laterally. I can make the layout bigger up/down, but can't widen it for some reason.

Here is another screenshot. I want to drag the blue border (the background) over the the orange border - but there is nothing I can seem to click on for some reason....

Its the gray area to the right of your blue background. Hover over it, and you will see the pointer change,

[mightymice]

no it doesn't change - I've "hovered" everywhere...

just figured it out - had page margins selected in the view menu.

Thanks for responding Lee

It works. How about just click on the line I mentioned?

[mightymice]

Ok - fixed it. Had page margins checked on the view menu. 

Thanks for your responses Lee.
