Properties - Page Setup dialog box: Page (Document Editor)

The Page section of the Properties - Page Setup dialog box for documents contains the following properties, which affect the whole document, including all layouts of a multi-layout document:

Paper

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

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

  • Width: The width of the page.

  • Height: The height of the page.

    The Width and Height settings take priority over the Paper Size setting. That is, if you increase one of them beyond the Paper Size, Paper Size changes.

Orientation

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

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

Scaling

  • Scaling: The scale of the document:

  • Adjust to scales the document by the selected percent. Use it to increase or decrease the scale of the document. This setting is the default, with 100% (full size) selected.

  • Fit to page scales 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. Fit to page ensures that the document fits within the parameters, but does not increase the size of the document. If the document is already smaller than the set width and height, it will not become expanded.

  • Scale page header/footer check box determines whether the scaling is applied to the Page Header and Footer. If the check box 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

  • Overflow: If the controls on the document extend beyond the width of a single page, this property determines whether the excess controls (the overflow) are printed on the next sheet of paper or on the same page. In other words, it is the difference between printing the controls left to right on multiple pages or immediately below each other on the same page. By default, the overflow is printed on the next sheet. The Overflow setting applies to all sections in the document. For more information, see Controlling horizontal overflow.

You can specify the measurement units (inches or centimeters) that are used for these settings in the My Preferences dialog box.
