If you change page size or orientation after objects have been added to pages, you can
use the Layout Adjustment feature to minimize the amount of time needed for arranging
existing objects.
To change document settings:
Choose File > Document Setup, specify the document options, and then click OK. The
options are the same as those in the New Document dialog box; see
document" on page 30.
Changing margin and column settings
Changing options in the Margins and Columns dialog box changes only the pages or
masters selected in the Pages palette. By default, a page has one column defined by two
column guides, one at the left and one at the right margin. Changing the number of
columns replaces all existing columns with a new set of equally spaced columns. If you
want to make unequal columns, drag a column guide; see
widths" on page 32.
You can set up columns within individual text frames by selecting them and using the
Columns options in the Text Frame Options dialog box. Text frame columns exist only
within individual text frames, not on the page itself. (See
on page 83.)
To change margin and column settings:
1 Do one of the following:
To change margin and column settings for one spread or page, go to the spread you
•
want to change, or select one spread or page in the Pages palette.
To change margin and column settings for multiple pages, select those pages in the
•
Pages palette, or select a master that controls the pages you want to change.
2 Choose Layout > Margins and Columns, specify the following options, and then click
OK.
Margins Type values to specify the distance between margin guides and each edge of
the page. If Facing Pages is selected in the New Document or Document Setup dialog box,
the Left and Right margin option names change to Inside and Outside so that you can
specify additional inside-margin space to accommodate binding.
Columns For Number, type the number of columns to be created within the margin
guides. For Gutter, type a value for the width of the space between columns.
Note: The Margins and Columns dialog box doesn't alter columns inside text frames,
although text frame columns may be resized if the frame is resized by the Layout
Adjustment feature.To change columns inside frames, see
on page 83.
Creating unequal column widths
When you have more than one column on a page, the column guides in the middle
appear in pairs. When you drag one column guide, the pair moves. The space between
the column guides is the gutter value you specified; the pair moves together to maintain
that value.
