Hello Viv,

<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>

...on my screen I find that the pallet column is too close to the edge of the screen and too narrow<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>Do you find that the right side of the palette is clipped off on the screen?

Please try this: Change the size of the Composer window so that it is smaller than the full size of the screen. You can do that by clicking the middle of three buttons at the top-most right corner of the window. Then you might need to drag the edge of the window to make it smaller than the full side of the screen. For that purpose, you can drag with your mouse the bottom right corner of the window. Does this fix the problem with the palette being clipped on the right?

If the above test fixes the problem, then this means that you need to adjust the horizontal dimension of your monitor so that the edges of the window are not clipped. If this is the problem, you'll be seeing the same problem in other applications.
