Creating a simple page layout
If you want some control of the page layout but do not want to create master pages, you can use the
substatements
DPageSize
the text frame in the document. The MIF interpreter uses this information to create master pages and body pages.
These statements correspond to the Normal Page Layout options.
The following example is in the sample file
<MIFFile 8.00>
<Document
<DPageSize 7.5" 9.0">
<DMargins 2" 1" .5" .5">
<DColumns 1>
<DTwoSides No>
>
<TextFlow
<TFTag `A'>
<TFAutoConnect Yes>
<Para
<ParaLine
<String `This paragraph appears on a body page within a'>
<String ` text flow tagged A.'>
>

Creating a single-sided custom layout
If the document that you're importing needs a custom master page, you must specify a custom page layout. For
example, a document might need a master page for background graphics.
To create a custom layout for a single-sided document, you do the following:
•
Create a right master page.
•
Create a single, empty body page.
• Create an empty, tagged text flow that is linked to the master page.
•
Create a tagged text flow that is linked to the body page and contains all the document's text.
The MIF code shown in this section is also in the sample file
