FAQ

Does page width switching apply only to the current document?

  1. A page width change made from the lower-right switch mainly applies to the document you are currently viewing.
  2. If you only need a temporary reading adjustment, use that switch directly.
  3. If you want future new documents to use a fixed width, change the default page width in File → Document Settings → Personal Preferences.

Why did I change the default page width, but some documents did not change?

  1. First check whether that document was already adjusted manually.
  2. A document with its own manual width adjustment may keep that document-specific display setting.
  3. The default page width is more relevant to new documents and documents opened for the first time without a separate manual adjustment.

What kinds of documents are more suitable for page width settings?

  1. Long text documents are often easier to read in Standard Width.
  2. Documents with wide tables, images, or broader content can work better in Wider or Full Width.
  3. You can switch between reading comfort and content visibility based on the task.
