Text Width and Box

[nabeeha63]

Hi,

So I have 2 pages. The text on one page is contained within a box and does not span the whole page, it is cut off. While the other page is full width and not contained in a box. I need to fix the page contained in a box to be like the other page. I need the text to span the whole page and not contained in a box.

The images of the pages are attached.

Hi @nabeeha63 

Without trying to go through the underlying HTML code to figure out exactly what code is creating the box, the simplest thing to do would be to edit the page, then select all of the text and use the Format > Clear Formatting option from the RCE (text editor) toolbar:

Did not work. Any other ideas? I don't mind an html solution

Thank you!

i realized that one module is a page and the other is an assignment. The assignment is confined to a box. Still trying to fix it.

Hi @nabeeha63,

I believe what you're seeing is just the inherent design of Canvas and won't be easy to alter.  When you say one thins is an assingment and one is a module, I think you might mean page instead of module.  Pages will generally span the whole browser width, as there is only the page content to deal with.  Assignments, on the other hand, have the "related items" column for teachers, which should have a link to SpeedGrader at minimum when the assignment is published.  This may be a good news/bad news thing for you, because that column will generally only show up for you and not your students, meaning students will get a pretty similar view to what you see with pages.

I hope this explanation at least helps explain the differences you're seeing in the two items a bit!
