Positioning and aligning elements
Sometimes,inaPrinttemplate,youdon'twantcontenttomoveupordownwiththetextflow.Topre-
ventthat,putthatcontentinaPositionedBox.See"Contentelements"onpage170.
Whenitcomestopositioningelementsonapage,Guidescanbeuseful,aswellasTables.See"How
topositionelements"onpage275.
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mis-
interpret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cen-
timeters(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.

Printsectionswithconditionalcontentanddynamictables(see"Personalizingcontent"onpage297)
canhaveavariableamountofspaceatthebottomofthelastpage.Itisusefultofilltheemptyspaceat
thebottomwithtranspromotionalmaterial,butofcourseyoudon’twantextrapagescreatedjustforpro-
motionaldata.'Whitespaceelements'areelementsthatwillonlyappearonthepageifthereisenough
spaceforthem.
