[Solved] Page is 19+ inches wide - what happened?

Post by gwj2001us@yahoo.com »

I've used Open Office for several years and love it but today I was typing away and must have hit some combination of keys and suddenly my typing page when from the normal 8.5 inches wide with a frame showing the margins to a little over 19 inches wide with no frame for the margins. I've checked everything I can check, some of the choices are grayed out so I can't choose them. Every time I try to create a new document, it's 19+inches wide - what happened and how to I get back to my normal screen that is 8.5 inches wide. I've attached two screen shots, one normal -- the way it used to be, and another the way it is now. I'm using 4.1.4 with Windows 8.1

The simplest thing that I can think of that you can change accidentally is page view to web view in the View menu.
OpenOffice 4.1.11 on Ubuntu; LibreOffice 6.4 on Linux Mint, LibreOffice 7.6.2.1 on Ubuntu

You were correct! I feel so stupid. But thanks so much.
