Question
QUESTION: Ok. Kevin,  You easily and quickly solved my last problem.  
This one is completely stupid.  I know, no stupid questions.  I happens to me
ALL of the time and it drives me crazy.  Not sure if I can accurately and
succinctly explain it, but here goes.
I think it has to do with the workspace. It's like it disappears.  Doesn't have to
do with %.    But I have to constantly use the horiz or vertical sliders to move
my project so that I can see it.    Any ideas?
Thanks again.   Your solution on cutting the letter was great!
Melissa

ANSWER: Hi Melissa,

If you are zoomed in too far, try using ctrl+zero to zoom to fit in window (or double click the hand tool in the toolbox).

If your palettes are disappearing, hit the tab key to bring them back.

QUESTION: Kevin,
It isn't about the zoom issue. It's the actual space on which I am working.
No matter what view percent I am at, I have to slide the "bubble" on the
bottom flush left to see my work.   Same goes for the vertical.   As I said in
my first missive, it it sort of difficult to explain.
Thanks!

Answer
Hi Melissa,

If you go to fit in window and you still have the scroll bars moving around, the only other thing I can think of is switching the views to full screen mode (buttons located at the bottom of the toolbar or the letter F key).

Thanks
