Defining custom page sizes

You can add custom page sizes to a document using the Edit Page Sizes dialog box. Custom page
sizes are based on the document's current unit of measure. Custom pages cannot be changed; to
edit a custom page definition, you must delete and re-create it.
Custom pages are retained within the FreeHand document. To make a custom page definition
available to newly created FreeHand documents, you add the custom page definition to a
FreeHand template. For more information, see "Using templates" on page 60.
