    Hi Michael and welcome to the RW forum! It depends upon the theme you're working with. With some (many) it can be fairly easy to do. With others, not so much due to the CSS coding involved. You might want to have a look at the SupportCasts site. The three guys that run it have all been long-time RW contributors - and are active on these boards. They offer Screencasts that make learning RW fun and easy. You can find more information <a href="http://supportcasts.com/category/rw/" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.

    I’d also recommend you check out Inside RapidWeaver’s excellent book: <a href="http://www.insiderapidweaver.com/books/ultimate_one/" target="_blank"><b>The Ultimate Rapidweaver Book - Part 1</b></a>. They call it the Missing Manual…and it really is that good.

    If you need to manipulate the CSS code in order to make the site wider than the developer intended, check out <a href="http://www.insiderapidweaver.com/books/rwcss_book/" target="_blank"><b>this book</b></a>.



    All the best,

    I'm wondering if the issue is that you have not set the Master Style so as you add pages the new pages revert to the theme default of 800.

    Open the page inspector and in the Styles tab look to the bottom for "Uses Master Style", then use the width variations, and any others you want to be universal on the site, to 900.

    Now as you add each page go to the Page Inspector and select Uses Master Style.

    Then your settings will hold
