Figure 95
The Custom Paper Size dialog of the Page Setup dialog
Your custom paper size then appears at the bottom of the Paper Size pop-up menu.
Set the margins of your document
You can set the margins of your Nisus Writer Express document in a variety of ways visually,
numerically or by “stepping” through pre-set increments.
☞
All controls of your margins are set on a per-section basis. If you have many sections in your
document and want to change the margins of the entire document (or a number of sections), either
select the entire document and make the changes or select some text in those sections you want to
alter before making the changes.
Set the margins visually
Changing the margins of your document is as easy as dragging the line that appears around the
printed area to the location you want.
1. Choose Page View from the View menu (if your document is not already displayed as a page).
Paper size, margins and line wrap areas are meaningless in Draft View and Full Screen view.
2. Choose Show Page Guides from the View menu (if you do not already have the page guides
displayed).
You can change the margins with the Page Guides turned off, but having them on is much
easier.
You can print these guides as explained in “Print page guides and “invisibles”” on page 215.
3. Place your mouse over the Page Guide representing the margin you wish to move.
Your pointer changes to a “margin mover” as illustrated in “Nisus Writer Express Pointer
Variations” on page 9.
4. Click and drag your mouse (and the Page Guide with it) so that the margin is where you want
it.
A tool tip” appears to let you know where your margin is in relation to the edge of the paper.
