Fit to Margins doesn't

Post by enonod »

Why does Fit to Margins actually show the page with margins when it would be expected that the blank margins at the sides would be outside the visible area to save screen space?

I suppose you are talking about zoom level "Fit margins to window". I expect that "margins" are page margins, not text area margins, but as expectations differ, an additional zoom level "Fit text area to window" would not be amiss.

Open the Zoom dialog, choose "Fit text to window" instead of "Fit margins to window".

However, despite that, there still seems to be a problem.
I use two documents in separate windows not tabs, so I select Fit Text etc. from the list in Set Zoom.
In one of the document instances I use the same menu but select a zoom.
When I return to the Set View menu all I see are zoom levels and no more words to select the view from. I cannot see how to get back.

[EDIT] I think I should have put this part in a new post, so I will do now.

There is also an issue with two such document windows in that after an operation, clicking the mouse on the page of one of them the flashing cursor is extra tall (say two lines) and not related to a line of text. Moving the mouse and clicking still does not align the cursor on the line of text. Wait a while and it returns to normal.
I cannot obviously provide a document sample, so I rely on somebody reproducing it.

Are you getting this problem with any specific document, or with all documents?

I did as I said and posted this as a separate problem and have answered your question there
