What blank area?  When you set the "page reduction" to 50% under MacDraw II, 
that effectively doubles the size of the page for drawing purposes.  When you
print, you larger page is shrunk, by 50%, to fit on your piece of paper.

Or do I misunderstand you?  I thought it worked this way in MacDraw Classic
as well.
