Darren Emery Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Have not been able to identify why this happens - margins change drastically, to 1.88" for both left and right margins. I can reclaim the size of the workable area by using fixed margins and resetting to desired. I would rather find out why this happen, and stop it!  Any ideas?   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 What is it set on if you select File > Page Setup? That becomes the default setting. Then you change individual layouts using Layout Setup, Printing. I rarely show page margins except to see how a form might look or to set a specific layout. If you wish to turn off page margins, select View > Page Margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Emery Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I was willing to live with this issue with view margins turned off, per helpful suggestion from LaRetta above, until I realized this messes with my printing as well. Â For some reason, these seem to be my defualt settings. (I don't have "Page Setup, but I do have File>Print Setup - is this what you meant LaRetta)? Â Any idea why my margins start like this? (see attached screen captures) Â I"m getting tire of having to change every layout I work on! Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Emery Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 This is still bugging me, and can't seem to figure this one out. I tried using a new theme, rather than classic, thought that might change things, but no luck. Where in the world am I getting the 1.88" margin defaults?

LaRetta Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Why is it set to 2 columns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Emery Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Why is it set to 2 columns? It's not, as far as I can tell. The "print in" box is not selected. Either way - that's the default settings that come up with every new layout I create. Not sure why.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It is not checked for 1.88 right margin either ... I assumed you've unchecked them but HAD them checked originally. Let's start over here and if this doesn't work then we need to see your file. It is possible it is a windows issue. Printing and viewing are different things. Viewing: without margins: make sure View > Page Margins is unchecked. Printing: go to File > Page Setup (on Windows it may say print setup). Top popup is 'page attributes'. Set your choices as the default and then (from that popup) select 'set as default'. Again, if you are upset by the VIEWING of the layout, uncheck View > Page Margins. Set the default printing from File > Page Setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
