To set it for edit mode you call... setNormalViewMode(0.06) This sets the all the margins to 0.06 inches. What you want is specialized in that you want one margin (the left one) to be something different than 0.06 inches and still maintain the edit mode behavior. To do that, you will need to override the FormattedText.resize method and comment out the setLeftMargin call. ... if isEditViewMode then ' Get the normal view margin. margin = doc.getNormalViewMargin ' Set the margins. doc.setPageWidth(display.Width / doc.getResolution) doc.setTopMargin(margin) doc.setBottomMargin(margin) // doc.setLeftMargin(margin) <-- Comment this out. doc.setRightMargin(margin) ' Update the display. updateFull else ... In the next beta I will make this easier for you and you won't have to override the method. I'll add a setEditViewMode method(s) to allow you to accomplish what you want.
