Obviously, I'm a very stupid newbie to Inkspace, but since I'll be doing as little as possible with it (just working on some icons), I was hoping I could use it intuitively after reading just a few pages of the manual. Unfortunately, that's not the case, so I hope you'll forgive me for asking here.
When one creates a new blank file, a rectangle appears that is much smaller than the workspace. If that represents a printed page of standard letter size, I don't want it at all, since I'll be working with one image of approximately 300 pixels in width, and who wants to work with such a small image in such a huge workspace? So how can I get rid of it? My biggest problem is that when I save the file (primarily to use in Adobe Illustrator CS2 - an old version), the output formats I've tried all seem to include that annoying rectangle!
Clearly, my stupidity is crippling me, and I'll go through a tutorial when I next get the chance, but any quickie help for now would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
