1) What does the dotted line represent on the sheets? 2) I'm trying to get my layouts to print to 11 x 17. How do I go about that - do I have to start in a certain template? Currently, when I go to print and change the config I have to go through several config changes and add borders here and there and it won't have even borders all the way around.
Thanks

Since no one has answered, I will attempt to. The dashed line represents the print area i.e. inside the borders. The solid line inside that, is actually a viewport and can be sized by left click and stretch.

1. Go to desired sheet
2. Right click on sheet tab
3. Click on Print Configuration Manager
4. Select (or create first one) desired print configuration
5. Click Activate!!!

Thanks for your reply. I found out about setting up print configurations and got it working. Thanks for helping me understand that the dashed line is for print area inside borders.
