Section options
You can also delete sections, fit sections to a page, or fit sections to
the top half or bottom half of a page. Choose an option from the trian-
gle pop-up menu.
Delete Section
Deletes the current section. If the Apply To setting
refers to more than one section, this deletes all matching sections.
Fit to Page
Creates a full-page section.
Fit to Top Half or Fit to Bottom Half
Creates a half-page section
on the top half or the bottom half of the specified pages.
Preset column guides
These buttons let you select a preset column guides arrangement.
You can select 1, 2, or 3 columns of equal width, or 2 columns with a
wider column on the left or right.
Number of Columns
This setting specifies the number of columns; it overrides the preset
column guides. Type the number of columns. The maximum number
you can set depends on the width of a section.
Equal Widths
This option makes the column widths equal to the
value in the Column box, and makes the gutter widths equal to the
value in the Gutter box.
Deselect this option to set the width of a specific column.
When Equal Widths is selected, you cant set a specific column width
(the Column box is not available), because the column width is based
on the number of columns, the gutter width, and the section size.
Fixed Widths
This option prevents changes to the width of the sec-
tions columns. If you use the Section tool to drag a column guide,
the entire column moves, which changes the width of the gutters
without changing the width of the column.
Fixed Gutters
This option prevents changes to the width of the col-
umn gutters. If you use the Section tool to drag a column guide, the
gutter moves, which changes the width of the adjacent columns with-
out changing the width of the gutter.
