 1  Description

The PageSetup object contains the page settings of the Document obejct to which it belongs. You can use it to determine and change the paper size, page size and margins as well as the orientation of a document.

 2  Access to the object

Each open document has exactly one instance of the PageSetup object. It is accessed through Document.PageSetup:

' Set the left margin of the page to 2cm

tm.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.LeftMargin = tm.CentimetersToPoints(2)

Note: TextMaker allows you to divide a document into multiple chapters and then define different page settings for each of them. In this case, the PageSetup object always refers to the page settings of the chapter where the text cursor is placed at the moment.
