[Qgis-user] printing with metis?

[Michael Neubauer]

Hi Tara,

in the print-composer you have to press "add a new map", then draw a square 
with your mouse on the canvas in the size you want to have the active view in 
the map-composer displayed and then press the button "add a new map" again.

I think I remember, that in older versions you did not have to press "add a 
new map" a second time. That might have lead to some confusion...

Hope my answer helps you and is still in time.
Good trip with the map...  ;-)

Micha
