The Document window
Launching FreeHand displays the Document window and the pasteboard—the
area that contains the pages of your document.
The Document window contains all your documents’ objects. Objects must be
placed on a page in order to be printed with the Print command; if they are placed
on the pasteboard outside of page boundaries, you can print them using the Print
Area command. For more information about the Print Area command, see
“Defining a print area” on page 412. The pasteboard measures up to 222 x 222
inches and can hold 520 letter-sized pages. You can customize the buttons, tabbed
panels, and toolbars. For more information on panels and toolbars, see “Using
panels” on page 69 and “Customizing toolbars” on page 91. If you modify a
document without saving it, an asterisk appears next to the document name in the
Document window. For more information, see “Saving files” on page 422.
