Hi,

I've had headaches trying to get dialog boxes to size to what i want them too. Trying to make a dialog symetrical so that both margins of it are the same width.

Well here is something stumbled upon recently.

Turn of the rulers.

I never use them and i've never heard of anybody who does. Then with the rulers of all you need to do is drag the 'grided' area the window to the size you want and then match its edges to the inner edge of the design window which is much easier than guessing where it should be 'under' the rulers so to speak.

I don't know if this will actually be of use to you guys seeing as there are so many experts here but it might help some beginners and i wanted to share what i'd learnt.
