Opened up a template that I have in my v 27.2 ( that was fine 2 days ago!) and it is now showing space between ALL my right measures/systems and right hand margins. Help!!! What did I do? I loaded some shortcuts the other day. Hmmmmmmmm?!?

Select the Page Layout Tool and from the menubar menu select Redefine Pages > All Pages. If that doesn't do it, post the file here and somebody will figure out what you did.

Yes, attach a file, but what do you mean by "right measures/systems"? To have a right barline connect all staves in a system, those staves need to be part of a group.

Not really - "Document Options > Barlines > Close barlines at end of each system" will do that

Ah, thank you. I saw that option, but "close barlines at end of each system" is a poor description (what's a "closed barline"?) so I didn't think that was it.
