    Click on the Change Theme button and in the next window select a different size without changing the theme.

    Be sure to careful check each page because with a different size you might have text issues, i.e. all the text fitting into the text boxes.  Before ordering the book review it according to this Apple document: Preview a print project in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture to avoid issues - Apple Support. Save the PDF file to compare it to the printed version when it arrives.

    I did what you suggested, but the program wouldn't accept just a size change.  It wouldn't advance unless i chose a different theme.  So I just did that and reformatted most of the pages.  OK, so now i have 2 pages, including the cover, where there is a red ! symbol meaning the text won't fit for some reason.  I have tried different things, changing font size, moving up and down on the page to make sure there is no invisible text, etc, etc.  to no avail.  When i preview it, the text does not show.  Any suggestions?

    There may be some hidden/invisible characters at the end of the text, i.e. returns.  Do a Command+A in the text box and delete all of the text.  Then add it back till you get the red warning sign.  You may have to shorten the text for that box.

    That worked perfectly.  I didn't know about command A.  Those sneaky returns were screwing things up.  Muchas gracias!
