[Hidden-tech] Another Mac question

[Fred Levine]

Diane: 
There may be a better way to do this, but what I do:

Go to the Toolbar at the top.
Tools>Advanced Editing>Crop Tool

The crop tool allows you to draw a box around the part of the page you want
to keep. 
Double click in the box, which opens a dialog window, where you can make
more changes or simply click OK.
