the gutter and press Tab to highlight the shape handle. Watch the status bar to be sure you are highlighting
the shape handle. Click to select the shape handle. Move the cursor left or right to change the horizontal
offset. This affects the horizontal offset of all segments of the gutter, so that the segments are symmetrical.
