On the cover all we did was add a background color. No other adjustment's were made to it.&#160; However after "reivew" the cover layout is completly off center front and back. We've checked file settings, size, etc. Pulled up the template... its all EXACTLY as it should be. I've compared it to the onecover I submitted that looked fine (but with no background color) and it matches perfectly in every way.</p><p><br/>Would anyone have an input on this?
