Page break adjustment- horizontal

Post by Taterbug » 23 May 2018 02:12

Can one stretch the line at a page break.
Viewing below picture, if I drag the structure any further right, all the people from the left page closest to the seam will jump over the line.
If I drag the structure to the left, the line will stretch to a small point and then all the people closest to the seam on the right will jump over to the left. Both methods crowd the seam in a book view.
What is desired, is longer lines over the spine, or seam of the book, which stretch slightly more to less impede the view of the tree structure at the spine.
If I change the structure to vertical I think I remember the video training shows a solution; however this current layout provides good readability and structure density in standard dual 8.5”x11” for this exact combination of people and data.

I am assuming that shot is a Print preview.

I suspect the "space" is the margin you have set for the page. So you could change the Page set up to have smaller margins if your printer will support it.

I should think that if I make the margins are larger on the both sides of the page it will spread the diagram out further, as long as it is not too large that the diagram will "spill" or split to another preceding or following page.
I'll try that on print format and see if it solves.

If I understand correctly, you want to space the diagram lines and boxes further away from the spine, so the tree structure does not get impeded by the seam binding.

Are you are using the Publish > Book command to produce a number of Diagrams in one book?
If so, then the Book Settings > Page Layout tab may help.
The Left and Right margins can be set to different values.
The default Symmetry setting mirrors those margins on alternate pages.
Thus the spine/seam margin can be larger than the edge margin.

That helps very much, and spreads out the diagram nicely. Thanks Mate
