I have this odd shaped grey box around the background of all my documents.  Anyone know what this is, what its used for, and how to get rid of it?

This is called pasteboard, it is a non printable area. You can use it to store images, text elements etc that you would finally place on the document. Anything placed on it will not print.

    The question still stands... Or perhaps differently phrased: How can it be reduced in size, mine is 5 times bigger than my panel.
