Page layout & orientation

Set the paper size, margins, and default indent for the whole document.

1. In Draft, choose Format ▸ Page Layout.
2. Set the page size (Width and Height), the four Margins, and the default first-line indent (First line and lists, under Default indent). Live preview guides appear behind the dialog.
3. Switch the Units (in / cm / mm / pt / px) if you prefer, then click Apply.

For orientation, choose Format ▸ Page Orientation ▸ Portrait or Landscape. The page swaps its width and height and rotates the margins with it.
