ABSTRACT
PageMaker is a desktop publishing program from Adobe which creates layout of text and graphics on paper. It can create layouts for individual, multiple, and double-sided pages.
Graphics and text can be placed anywhere in the publication, and there are features for wrapping text around graphics and overlaying text on graphics. Text can be imported from and exported to files in most Mac and PC formats, as well as ASCII files.
Introduction

Other Options
Pages can be set up as single, double-sided or facing. (Pages cannot be facing unless they are double-sided.) For single-sided pages there should be no options selected.
The following descriptions should help with your decision making:
Single-sided
Pages show only one page at a time on the screen and only one master page is created.
Double-sided
Pages also show only one page at a time on the screen. However, two master pages are created. This option is appropriate for publications that will be printed on both sides of a page.
Facing
Pages display two pages at a time on the screen (except page one, which is displayed alone). This selection is appropriate if you are setting up a magazine or booklet, because the pages are set up to face each other, just as they would in a book.
Fill information according to your need and and click ok command button. A new window will appear similar to next page.
Previous Size (refresh) Box
The Previous Size box (upper right corner) is used to refresh your screen display. This is especially useful when you have been making several editing changes or testing different font sizes and styles. Using this option will clear the screen of any bits of previous edits that remain on the screen. If you adjusted the size of the PageMaker window, this button will also return the window to its previous size.
Using PageMaker Templates
A template is a document with preset formatting and settings. For example, if you were creating a newsletter, you could set the margins, columns, and guides where they need to be and use the same file to create all your issues. This maintains consistency throughout the issues.
If none of the existing PageMaker templates fit your needs, you can create and modify your own template. The same template can be used over and over again without making changes to the original.
