Page Setup

On the File menu, choose Page Setup and click a tab to choose settings. By default, settings apply to a document and all of its components. You can copy and paste settings from one component to another or to multiple selected components. iGrafx recommends that you view page breaks (on the View menu) when defining page setup.

To view your customized page setup, on the File menu, choose Print Preview.

Settings that apply globally to all components apply to the selected component unless you clear the Use document settings check box in the Page Setup dialog box when you choose page setup selections. Restriction of Header, Footer, and Watermark changes cannot be applied globally; they must be applied to a single component.
