Fixing my page layout

Question

Help. I think I really messed up initially setting up my pages, and I don’t want to have to start my work over. I thought I was designing something on a letter-sized page, but when I export to PDF, it only captures part of the document. And when I use the page tool, it only selects a tiny box on the layout. How do I adjust the content to fit the letter page without starting over?

First, that’s what happens (although I don’t have a solution for you yet).

Instead of setting page size to 8.5x11 inches, you set it in picas:

Which amounts to this size in inches:

The actual size of what you built in inches is nearly 28 inches wide (while the page size itself is as shown above):

Hence all your problems.

You need to scale down everything accordingly.

Frankly, I don’t have a clear solution in mind of how to do this right now. I’m sure others will chime in.
