Selecting page setup options

The Windows Page Setup dialog box allows you to specify certain aspects of
your document, such as its page size, format, and orientation, as well as the
settings for several print effects. You can change these settings for every

document it will closely resemble its final printed form.

information about such options, refer to the documentation that came with
