58 Working with Pages
Using the dot grid
The dot grid is a matrix of dots based on ruler units, covering the page and
pasteboard areas. Like ruler guides, it's handy for both visual alignment and
snapping.
• To turn the dot grid on or off, click Dot Grid on the View menu.
You can also set the grid spacing, style, colour, and positioning in the dialog
(see PagePlus Help).
Using headers and footers
Headers and footers are layout elements that are positioned at the top and
bottom of your master page(s), and are repeated on every page of your
publication. The Headers and Footers Wizard lets you create these elements
easily.
Remember to set up your margins so that you leave enough room
for any intended header or footer.
To create headers and/or footers:
• On the Insert menu, choose Headers and Footers... and follow the
Wizard instructions. The header and/or footer is automatically applied
to the master page (and not the current page).
To edit existing headers and footers:
• On the Insert menu, choose Headers and Footers.... In the Headers
and Footers Wizard, select Edit header, Leave header as it is, or
Delete header and then complete the Wizard instructions. Carry out
the equivalent operation for your footer if needed.
