How do I remove white border around my text in TextEdit with Mac OS15?

And how to set a default so new files don’t open with the border?

I tried to remove this post or edit to say I had solved the problem, but the removal/edit wouldn’t take last night.

Anyway, the white border I referred to was the “wrap to window”, and “wrap to page” settings.

Before this new computer, I had never seen the border around the active test field in TextEdit.

Thanks for checking with me.
