Using MindManager 14 on Windows 7. Central topic is laid out as a Tree, so the central topic appears in the upper left of the map. But there is a large block of white space to the left of the map which becomes a problem when printing - I want the map to fill as much of the paper as possible, but that large block of white space on the left is sucking up roughly 20% of the available space on the paper. How do I get rid of that and print so the central topic is close to the left margin of the paper? Dragging the central topic to the left simply scrolls the display - does not actually move it on the drawing canvas.

Yes you can do as Andrew suggests or simply use the Windows snipping tool or something similar to capture exactly the shape and size you want to appear in the final print, though the resolution isn't terrific. The one advantage of the snipping tool however is that you have more flexibility to arrange the way the map appears than with a straight image export of the map.
Another alternative is to create and print a presentation slide of the central topic with the branches showing. In MM15/16 you can click on the slide and then move the slide frame to give you the image you want before printing. I think that works in MM14 though it's been little a while since I used it.

'In "unpinned" mode, you can drag the boundary to change its position, or drag its corners to resize it:
'- You can drag the slide boundary to change its location relative to the map content.
'- Drag the corners of the slide boundary to change its size relative to the map content. the aspect ratio of the slide always remains constant.'
