You define the properties for each page of the proposal, including page orientation, size, width, headers, footers, and so on. Page properties are defaulted from the document properties, but you can change them for each individual page.
The properties are applied to the active page only. Open each page individually to establish different properties for the remaining pages. Alternatively, you can use document properties to set the page properties for all pages in the proposal at once.
Prerequisite: In the Navigation pane, select
and then
create a new proposal or
open an existing proposal.

To define page properties:
-
In the Settings pane, select
Properties, click
Page Properties and select the page for which you are defining properties.
-
Set the paper size.
-
Set the page width and height.
-
Specify the page layout orientation.
-
Specify the top, bottom, left, and right margins.
The unit of measure (inches or millimeters) defaults to the measure that is specified in
Document Properties and cannot be changed.
If your unit of measure is inches, use decimals for fractions of an inch (for example, 0.75 or 1.20).
-
If
Headers and
Footers are specified in Document Properties, the same option is selected for the page.
Use options in the Page Properties pane to set the header and/or footer properties for the active page. See
Insert Headers and Footers for more information.
-
Specify the background color and opacity.
If you know the numeric representation for the background color, enter it in the
Background
field. Otherwise, click in this field to open the custom color palette. Move the
+ slider to the desired color on the palette and then use the vertical slider to specify the gradient of the desired color.
For the
Opacity, enter a number that represents the percentage of transparency (lightness) for the background color. The lower the percentage, the lighter the color. For example, if the background color is set to royal blue and the opacity is 50%, the color will be a lighter shade of royal blue than if it were set to 100%.
