Problem with the layout

Hi,

 

English is not my first language and I honestly don't know the correct term for what I'm trying to describe - so here goes!

 

I'm taking over a drawing from another person in the company. Apparently we don't use the same standard template for models or drawings. 

 

The extent of the drawing frame should be 841x594 mm (A1). However, when I'm in the drawing there is a white space much larger than that showing. 

 

Is there a way to reduce it? I'm not even able to select it or search for it online since I don't know what it's called. See picture below for reference!

 

(I know that I could create a completely new one, but it feels like a hassle since I will have to fill out the metadata, copy over the logos and double check the layer properties from all the xrefs. I can also print using "extent/layout" and it will be fine, but since it's going to a third party I do want it to look correctly.)

I feel like such an idiot, I attempted to plot again using extent/layout and noticed that I apparently hadn't chosen A1 as paper size - and it magically corrected itself!

 

I'll leave this up in case someone knows of any other ways to adjust the white background.
