Detail tables can be used in all contexts, but transport lines are only useful in a Print
context; see "Detail Table" on page818.
Positioning and aligning elements
Sometimes, in a Print template, you don't want content to move up or down with the text flow.
To prevent that, put that content in a Positioned Box. See "Content elements" on page628.
When it comes to positioning elements on a page, Guides can be useful, as well as Tables.
See "How to position elements" on page758.
Page settings: size, margins and bleed
On paper, whether it is real or virtual, content is naturally limited by the page size and margins.
These, as well as the bleed, are set per Print section, as follows:
l
On the Resources pane, right-click a section in the Print context and click Properties.
For the page size, click the drop-down to select a page size from a list of common paper sizes.
Changing the width or height automatically sets the page size to Custom.
Margins define where your text flow will go. Static elements can go everywhere on a page, that
is to say, within the printable space on a page that depends on the printer.
The bleed is the printable space around a page. It can be used on some printers to ensure that
no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document. Note: Printers that can’t print a bleed,
will misinterpret this setting. Set the bleed to zero to avoid this.
Tip
By default, measurements settings are in inches (in). You could also type measures in
centimeters (add 'cm' to the measurement, for example: 20cm) or in millimeters (for
example: 150mm).
To change the default unit for measurement settings to centimeters or millimeters: on the
menu, select Window > Preferences > Print > Measurements.
