Guide/Part Three · Structure a manuscript

Page layout & orientation

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

1. Choose Format ▸ Page Layout.
2. Set page size, margins, and the default first-line indent. Live preview guides appear behind the dialog.
3. Switch the display unit (in / cm / mm / pt / px) if you prefer, then click OK.

For orientation, choose Portrait or Landscape; the page swaps dimensions and rotates the margins.
