In the layout editor - Export (save) the layout to your desktop<br>

then take close look at where the photo boxes have been placed.</p>

it should be. I would just leave the margins as they are now, and not print<br>
any layouts with a color background so it is less noticeable when the paper<br>
moves around.</p></div>John
