Setting up a publication
A publication's page size, orientation and intent settings are
fundamental to your layout, and are defined when the new publication is
first created, either using a design template or as a new publication.
Properly setting up your publication size and intent at the outset reduces
the chance of encountering problems when publishing and printing.
To adjust size/orientation of the current publication:
1. Select
Publication Setup from the Pages context toolbar.
2. Ensure the Paper menu option is selected. The other option,
Margins, lets you define non-printable Margin, Row, Column, and
Bleed Guides as design aids.
3. For a Regular/Booklet Publication, you can select a pre-defined
paper size, printer-derived paper size, or enter custom values for
page Width and Height, as well as setting the orientation (Portrait
or Landscape). For booklets only, select a type from the Booklet
drop-down list, which page to start on (left/right), and if you
require Facing pages (including Dual master pages). PagePlus
automatically performs imposition.
4. For other publication types, you can select: Small Publications (for
example, business cards, labels, etc.), Large Publications (banners
or posters), or Folded Publications (cards).
• For Small publications, enable Paper and choose a pre-defined
option from the list, or for creating Labels, enable the radio
button and pick an Avery label code which matches your labels.
• For Large and Folded publications, choose a pre-defined option
from the list (use the preview).
5. Click OK to accept the new dimensions. The updated settings will
be applied to the current publication.
