Q:
What Page Size Should I use?
A:
You should always use a page size that equals
the desired finished size of the document. For
example, if you are building an 8.5 x 11 booklet
that will be printed 17 x 11 (this is referred
to as the flat size), your Document Page
Size should be 8.5 x 11. (See Illustration
Below)
