Working with Pages 29
Setting up a publication
A publication's page size and orientation 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 choice via File>New... and the Startup
Wizard. If the Startup Wizard is turned off, or you cancel the setup dialog, a new
publication is created to a default page size.
To adjust size/orientation of the current publication:
1. Select
from the Pages context toolbar.
2. 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 menu, which page to start on (left/right), and if you require
Facing pages (including Dual master pages).
3. For other publication types, you can select the publication types:
Small Publications (for example, business cards, labels, etc.), Large
Publications (banners or posters), or Folded Publications (cards) .
• For Small publications, either enable Paper, then create a custom
paper size, 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) or to define a custom publication
based on the selected option, click the Create Custom button.
Add additional custom settings if necessary.
4. Click OK to accept the new dimensions. The updated settings will be
applied to the current publication.
For regular/booklet publications, you can also adopt printer-derived paper sizes
that are supported by your desktop or network printer. These paper sizes are
shown in the Page Setup dialog and will be different depending on which
printer is currently chosen in the Print dialog.
