[Solved] Page layout is different; Ctrl+Z doesn't undo it

Hello everyone.

I downloaded this program within the last week or two. Still figuring it all out.

I left the room and my cat jumped on my desk, walked on the keyboard or sat on it or something, and my formatting is completely messed up. I CTRL Z'd as much as I could but it won't fix the formatting.

I can't explain the problem so I can't google effectively. Here are pictures.


This is what it should look like

This is what it looks like now.

As you can see the text area is giant. My document that is around 50 pages is now 2 pages. I don't like this, and I can't fix it. If I make a new document, it's the new messed up version, so my open office is completely ruined for me until I can figure this out.

I tried pulling the things on the sides on the ruler thing on top inward, didn't do anything. I'm at a loss.

Please, please help.

Try selecting the menu item View -> Print Layout. Also check that View -> Zoom is set to 100%.

Most likely you have enabled Web Layout. Go to the View menu and click on Print Layout.
