A client of mine, using ID CS2, posed me a problem, I couldn't find any
solution for.
I bet you can. :-)

(please notice I'm translating from Italian, hence some word can be
different from the actual ones used by your ID)

Some time ago, his ID pasteboard (I mean the white space around the pages)
became larger than usual.
I mean way larger: the white space beside the page (usually as wide as the
page itself), has become more than twice. The space above and below the page
is 90 mm (almost 4 inches), even with "Preferences/Guides and
pasteboard/Minimum vertical offset" set to zero.
He doesn't know how it happened.

I tried changing "Screen mode" (under "View" menu), nope: pasteboard kept
large.
Do you know how the Pasteboard size is set?
(apart from "Preferences/Guides and pasteboard/Minimum vertical offset",
that doesn't solve the problem)

TIA,
Valter

Hopefully one or theses tips will work for them. . .

(and for the futureŠ in CS5, the preference actually works on open
documents!)
