There is a potential problem. Right now the embedded mode stretches the
text all across the drawing canvas when in set zoom to page width. The
margins to the left and right are ignored.

If there is a section break, the user can change the left and right
margins of the page which could make the text to the right strech off the
drawable area.

I guess the user could manually change the zoom or go back into print
view, but I thought I'd raise the issue right now.
