Set page format

On the ribbon tab Layout | group Page setup, you can, among other things, define the page format of a worksheet. This includes settings such as paper size and orientation (portrait or landscape).

Note: You can set up a different page format for each worksheet in a document. For example, within one document, the page orientation can be set to portrait in one worksheet, and landscape in another.

Applying via the dialog box of the command group "Page setup"

On the ribbon tab Layout | group Page setup, click on the group arrowgroup_arrow in the bottom right corner to open the dialog box and switch to the Page format tab.

Then make the desired settings:

Orientation

Here, you can specify the Orientation of the document on the printed page: Portrait or Landscape.

Paper size

Here, you specify the format of the paper size. The dropdown list Paper size contains all paper sizes that are supported by the current printer. If you want to specify a size that is not listed, you can do so by manually specifying values in the fields Width and Height.

Margins

You can set the page margins here

Distance to edge

Lets you modify the distance between headers/footers and the top/bottom edge of the page.
Note: Headers/footers are printed inside the top/bottom margins. If they do not appear on the printout, check if a) the Distance to edge is too large, or b) the top/bottom margin is too small.

Paper trays

Only available in Windows version: If your printer has multiple paper trays, you can set the tray which the printer should use. If you have selected the default setting Use printer setting, PlanMaker does not affect the paper feed. If, for example, you want the first page of your document to be printed on paper from tray 1 and the remaining pages on page from tray 2, you should change this setting accordingly.

Tip: If you right-click at the bottom on a worksheet tab, you can use the Copy page setup context menu command to copy all made page settings from one worksheet to another. See also the Managing worksheets.
