Page Size
The pages in the Designs Gallery
are designed to be a width that is known to fit the vast majority of computer screens. Creating wider
pages is not recommended, even though you will probably have a wider computer screen, experience
shows most viewers prefer to have a fixed width page. However you can adjust the page size to be
anything.
You can set any page size you like by selecting the Page size tab of the Options dialog (right click and
choose Page options or Page Options from the File
menu). It's not recommended that you make the page width more than 990 pixels, as that's the maximum
width for many computer screens (1024 minus a small amount for the scroll bar). A more common page
width is typically around 800 pixels.
You can directly adjust the height and width of your page by just dragging on the bottom or right margin
of the page. Go into the Selector Tool
and hover the pointer over the bottom edge of the page, and it will change to indicate you can now drag
resize the page up or down as required.
Changing The Page Size of Templates
You can change the vertical size of the pre-designed templates by just dragging on the bottom edge of
the page. However you will often need to move and resize various objects on the page. For example
many templates have a footer group. You can just drag this using the Selector Tool to the new position.
Sometimes the main text will be on a colored background rectangle. Again using the Selector Tool
you can drag on the lower resize handle to extend this down the page as required. Most templates use
columns of text which will just grow vertically as you add more text.
Hint
: If you hold "Ctrl" down while dragging you can ensure the drag will be exactly vertical or horizontal.
