Changing Layout Options


You may discover that you need to change some of the settings of an existing document. When you start a new document, all the settings appear in one dialog box. However, after you begin working on the document you must use two separate controls to make changes to the document.

To change the document setup:

1.

Choose File > Document Setup to open the Document Setup dialog box .

The Document Setup dialog box for an existing document.

2.

Make whatever changes you want to the following settings:

  • Number of Pages

  • Facing Pages

  • Page Size

  • Orientation

  • Bleed and Slug

3.

Click OK to apply the changes to the document.

To change the margins and columns:

1.

Choose Layout > Margins and Columns to open the Margins and Columns dialog box .

The Margins and Columns dialog box for an existing document.

2.

Make whatever changes you want to the following settings:

  • Margins

  • Number of columns

  • Gutter (the width of the space between the columns)

3.

Click OK to apply the changes to the document.

Tip

Changing the margins and columns while on a page or spread changes the settings only for that page or spread. To change the settings for all the pages, you need to work with the Master Page. (See Chapter 10, "Pages and Books," for more information on master pages.)
