background, with for example a header and footer. A Media represents preprinted paper that a
page can be printed on. See "Master Pages" on page153 and "Media" on page157.
Page specific content elements
The specific characteristics of pages make it possible to use these special elements:
l
Page numbers can only be used in a Print context. See "Page numbers " on page148 to
learn how to add and change them.
l Conditional content and dynamic tables, when used in a Print section, may or may not
leave an empty space at the bottom of the last page. To fill that space, if there is any, an
image or advert can be used as a whitespace element; see "Whitespace elements:
using optional space at the end of the last page" on the next page.
l
Dynamic Tables can be used in all contexts, but transport lines are only useful in a Print
context; see Dynamic Table.
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189.
When it comes to positioning elements on a page, Guides can be useful, as well as Tables.
See "How to position elements" on page304.
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.
