Adobe 65024500 - InDesign CS4 User Manual page 4

Page Size
Choose a page size from the menu, or type values for Width and Height. Page size
represents the final size you want after bleeds or trimming other marks outside the page.
There are presets for common sizes such as letter, legal, and tabloid.
Orientation
Click the portrait (tall) or landscape (wide) icons. These icons interact dynamically with
the dimensions you enter in Page Size. When Height is the larger value, the portrait icon
is selected. When Width is the larger value, the landscape icon is selected. Clicking the
deselected icon switches the Height and Width values.
NOTE: The default unit of measurement in InDesign is pica (p0). If you type a value into
the Width or Height text fields and use the abbreviation for inches (in), InDesign will
automatically convert it.
Bleed
After clicking More Options, the bleed area is used to align objects that you want to
extend all the way to the trim line of your printed document.
Slug
After clicking More Options, the slug area is used for instructions to the printer, sign-off
forms, or other information related to your document. The slug area is discarded when
the document is trimmed to its final page size.
When you have entered all of your document settings, click
NOTE: If you incorrectly enter information in the Document Setup dialog box, or if you
need to adjust any of this information while you are working, you can make changes at
any time by clicking File > Document
OK.
