Creating a New Publication

Customizing your publication layout

Whether you chose to create a publication from a template or from a blank page, you may decide to change the publication layout. Three components you can change are margins, size, and orientation. Although you can modify these settings at any time, you should be careful if your publication already contains objects like text, images, and shapes, as you'll have to adjust them to fit the new layout.

To modify page margins:

  1. On the Ribbon, select the Page Design tab, then locate the Page Setup group.
  2. Click the Margins drop-down command.

  3. A drop-down list will appear. Select the desired margins.

  4. The new margins will be applied.

If you are not satisfied with any of the margin options, select Custom margins... to open the Layout Guides dialog box. There, you can specify margin widths.

Depending on the template you chose, changing the page orientation may have a negative effect on your presentation. While some templates work equally well in both orientations, others do not.
