Page & Border spacing

Post by 2315 »

Hello:

I've been using AWP for a few months and love it. Thank you!
I'm curious, is there a setting I can make to set the space between the page and the app border? AWP currently opens to almost the full width of my 32" monitor (Example 1), while the work area, set 100% only takes up about 20% of the monitor area.
I always have to adjust the border to look more like (Example 2)

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Bill

How exactly do you adjust it?

There are multiple options in Atlantis that you can use to adjust the Print Layout view:

Note that the actual display depends on the current zoom, page settings and page count of the active document.

Thank you for replying

When I open AWP the app opens to the full width of my 32" monitor while the doc, set to 100%, opens to a much smaller view. I adjust this by dragging the edge of the app to the page doc.

I do not have the View options you show on your screenshot.

Sorry, I did not notice the “Lite” part in your initial screen capture. The Lite version does not have the settings mentioned in my previous post. In any case, there are not many options. There will be blank space between the page edges and the program window borders unless you reduce the window width by resizing the window or increase the zoom in the document. However, as soon as you add more pages to your document, Atlantis might display multiple pages at once thus reducing the blank space.

Thank you very much for your assist.
For some odd reason with the 5.0.0.16 update, opening the app, a new doc retains the space I adjusted to, between the app border and doc border.

I really enjoy AWP and like to support developers and have been planning to upgrade from the lite version and will likely do that asap.

Thanks again for your assistance

Possible the window width was not kept after a restart because you had multiple running instances of Atlantis. Is the Allow multiple instances of Atlantis option checked on the “General” tab of the “Tools | Options…” dialog?

Yes I had that option checked. I have since unchecked it and will see how it goes.

Thanks for the heads up
