When I printed out this piece (filled in with music) I noticed that the systems
are way over to the right of the page, with about an inch on the left and about
a quarter inch on the right. I would like it to be centered. Is the fault the way I
set up the printing or in my page layout on Finale? If the latter, can you show me
how to fix it? Thanks.

OK, I see the where you mean, but I don't see any changes being made.
Am I supposed to highlight something first?

Sorry--I should have told you that after you change the margins, go to the Page Layout tool and pick Redefine Pages from the PageLayout menu.
