Setting Up a Document to Use as a Custom Template
The rst step in setting up a document as a template is to set up the overall size and
shape of the document.
Here are ways to set up general document attributes:
Set paper size and orientation. m
Consider the paper size and orientation that will be used for the nished document.
For example, if you are creating a template for envelopes, make sure that you have
selected the correct envelope size (or created a custom size) before you proceed with
further document design. To learn about setting the paper size and orientation, see
“Setting the Paper Size and Orientation on page 253.
Set page margins. m
Dene the body text area and header and footer text areas. If your document will
be bound, you can set dierent margins for right- and left-facing pages. Document
margins are set in the Document inspector. For more information, see “Setting
Document Margins” on page 46.
Set up the format of headers and footers. m
Dene recurring text and graphics you want to appear at the top or bottom of pages
in the document. See Using Headers and Footers on page 54 for instructions.
Place master objects. m
Add watermarks, logos, or other background images so they appear in the same spot
on every page of your document. See “Using Master Objects (Repeated Background
Images)” on page 63 for details.
Add alignment guides. m
Create alignment guides to help place oating objects in the same position on dierent
pages. See “Creating Your Own Alignment Guides on page 162 for instructions.
