Hello..so I followed a tutorial like two years ago how to format a page in openoffice for a book
This is great but... I would like the text to go almost to the line on each side.. not be stuck in this narrow column which apparently isn't a column. Does anyone know how to fix this? The page itself is set properly but there is a narrow box inside the page I cannot seem to un-narrow

 Edit: Changed subject, was I need help with book formatting?

Blurry photos of your screen aren't much help in diagnosing your problem. Perhaps you could upload a small sample file that shows the problem.

It looks like you've set a border for the page and want to reduce the spacing to contents. Look at the format menu/page and click on the borders tab to change this.

Edit: You can remove the border as well by clicking on the line arrangement on the borders tab to clear all the border lines.

That was it! Thank you so much.
