Why do some document icons/pages show up on the screen as a narrow strip which I have to expand with my fingers to read?

You need to explore multitasking - As described, you likely have a slide-out view of an App enabled. Key to accessing and controlling multi-tasking is the small “three-dot” button that is found at the top-centre edge of the screen.


More information about using multi-tasking can be found in this support page:
