I have just started using Nisus (after letting it sit on my desk for some
time).  It seems like a very nice package, but I have one big complaint: I
don't seem to be able to view a very wide section of the screen at one time.
For example, in MS Word you can view 6" or 6.5" in width at one time on a
Plus/SE/Classic screen.  In Nisus, the maximum I can observe is 6", and I
can't even see that much if I want to have the little ruler icons visible
on the left side.  It is really annoying not being able to see everything,
and haven't the screen scroll right and then quickly scroll left at the 
end of each line. 

Anybody know of any tricks to make Nisus show a wider section of text?
(For example, Word shows 6.5" instead of 6" if you choose LaserWriter
instead of ImageWriter, or if you pick the "Tall Adjusted" option.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am stuck with a package I
won't use otherwise...
