Hi Cynthia,

so you want to zoom out? Or move the canvas? Or resize the page?
I'm not sure :( ... So I'll explain all of them:

To zoom in and out, hold Ctrl and roll your mousewheel, or hit + and -.

To move the canvas, hold Space down and just move the mouse. Or hold Ctrl and use the arrow keys.

To resize the page (the thing with the grey borders on the canvas, where you probably put your drawing on), go to
File -> Document properties (First tab) and either set a size manually in the fields for width and height, or click on 'Resize page to content' and enter values for your margins. Then click on the button beneath to do the resizing.
If it doesn't resize on the correct objects of your drawing, try to select the ones you want on the page first.

Kind regards,
 Maren

Hi,

None of those answers. I have a photo and the photo is to close to the edge of the page. I want to move the picture over from the edge of the page. I was able to do that when I had Vista. Now I just got Windows 10 and I can't seem to find how to do it.

Put space between the edge of the picture and what is in the picture.

Mmmh... *totally confused*

Did you try to click on it and move it with the mouse?...
Is that what does not work, maybe?
What happens instead?
Maybe things are grouped? Did you try to ungroup?
What does it say in the status line, when you click on the image?

I need you to describe with a lot more detail what is in your file, and what you did, and what you expected as a result...

If you could also upload your file somewhere - maybe then I'll understand... :/ - maybe at imgh.us ?
They seem to allow svg uploads. This section here doesn't support mail attachments.

Kind regards,
 Maren
