Text Box Issue (Stupid Question)

My text boxes seem to have a buffer on the right side. i.e. When I center or justify text, the centered text is too far left and the justified text has about a half an inch gap between the end of the text and the edge of the actual text box.

All of my spacing is default.

Any ideas?

Go the Inspector/Text/Text pane and check the Inset Margin slider. Move it a bit and then back if necessary. If that doesn't help, close iWeb, delete it's preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iWeb and try again.

Yeah it's not the inset margin, that was one of the first things I looked at.

I'll see the lady that was having the problem in the next week (I'm an Apple Trainer) and try the plist dump. I thought about doing that earlier but it's always sketchy when you're working on someone else's machine. Not much else left to try. Thanks!

If its somebody else's Mac I would not only delete the .plist but reboot and run Disk Utility before launching iWeb.
Restarting the Mac dumps out all the redundant files from iWeb which can sometimes cause odd behavior in the application if you overwrite stuff a lot.
