 * I created a new page on my website but the margins of the text I entered on the
   new page are wider than they are for the pages that were created previously. 
   Where do I find code that defines margins and how do I enter it for the new page?

 * Edit a previous page and look at the “Page Attributes”. Then look under “Templates”.
   Remember the name of the option under “Templates”. Then go into your new page
   and use the same option.

 * For both the old and new page, it is set to “default template” but the margins
   are different…???

 * Can you triple check that you are using the right template?
 * The old page has this class in the ‘<body>’ element (the element where the template
   class is generated):
 *     ```
       page-template-default
       ```
   
 * And the new page has this class:
 *     ```
       page-template-default
       ```
   
 * The new page also has this class:
 *     ```
       full-width
       ```
   
 * Do you have a customised version of the theme?

 * In line 1446, this code, interferes with [http://lauriepantell.com/for-lawyers/](http://lauriepantell.com/for-lawyers/)
   even on wide screen creates the problem:
 *     ```
       body.template-front-page .site-content,
       	body.single-attachment .site-content,
       	body.full-width .site-content {
       		width: 100%;
       ```
   
 * while the other page depends only on this code:
 *     ```
       .site-content {
           float: left;
           width: 65.1042%;
       ```
