Properties Dialog Box, Page Setup, Page

If you arrived here from Workstation, see the Workstation Document Authoring Help.

The Page section in the Properties dialog box lets you modify the page properties of a document. These are the options:

  • Paper Size: Specify the size of the paper, such as Letter (the default) or Legal.

    Changing this property alters the values for both Width and Height.

  • Width: Specify the width of the page.
  • Height: Specify the height of the page.

    Width and Height take priority over Paper Size. Therefore, if you increase one of them beyond the Paper Size, the Paper Size setting changes accordingly.

  • Orientation: Specify either Portrait (8.5" wide by 11" high for letter-sized paper) or Landscape (11" wide by 8.5" high). The default is Portrait.

    Changing the Orientation alters the values for both Width and Height.

  • Scaling: Sets how to scale the document:
    • Adjust to: Scale the document by the selected percent. Use it to increase or decrease the scale of the document. The default setting is 100%.
    • Fit to page: Scale the document to the selected number of pages. You can set both the number of pages wide, for horizontal scaling, and tall, for vertical scaling. This setting ensures that the document fits within the parameters of the page, but does not increase the size of the document. If the document is already smaller than the set width and height, it does expand.
    • Scale Page Header/Footer: Determine whether the scaling is applied to the page header and footer. If the checkbox is cleared, the contents of the page header and footer are printed at the size specified in the Property List, regardless of the scaling percentage applied to the rest of the document.
  • Horizontal fit: If the controls on a document extend beyond the width of a single page, the controls that overflow are printed on the next page. You can change this default setting by selecting an Overflow setting from the drop-down list:
    • Next page: Horizontal overflow is printed on the next page.
    • Below: Horizontal overflow is printed on the same page, directly below the other controls.

You can specify the measurement units (inches or centimeters) to use in the document in the General Preferences.
