Paper Size tab of the Page Setup dialog box

If you change the page setup and you plan to print your work, you should change the printer setup to match.

Page size list

You can choose from standard page sizes or choose Custom Size and create your own by adjusting the Width and Height measurements.

Use the Screen Size selection when preparing on-screen presentations (slide shows) to be used with the Page Manager tool. Choosing this option sets the page size to match the size, proportions, and resolution of your monitor.

Use Master Page

Match the size, orientation, and page fill (if any) of the master page. To edit the master page, you must click the Page button (at the bottom left of the Designer window), and choose Master Page

Use Printable Area

Forces the on-screen page to reflect your printer's page size and margins. For example, if your printer uses an 8.5" x 11" page with one-half inch margins, the on-screen page matches it.

Width

Changes the page size. Use the scroll arrows in the Height and Width list boxes.

Height

Changes the page size. Use the scroll arrows in the Height and Width list boxes.

Units

Lets you change the measuring increment. By default, the units match the ruler.

To change the units, click the button. A menu opens, displaying the units available, along with the More Units command.

Page Tiling

If the page size is set to use the printable area and the page orientation matches the orientation of the target printer, no tiling is used, and the number of Columns and Rows is set to 1.

If you enter a new value for Columns or Rows, the page size changes to match the value. To display tile lines on your screen as you work, open the View menu, point to Workspace, and click Show Printer Page Tiles.

Page Orientation

Lets you change the page's orientation to either portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).

Apply to All Pages

Applies all of the page setup options to all of the pages in the document.

Default button

Lets you establish the current settings as the default settings for all new pages and documents.
