Organizing Page Layout

o You may be presented with documents with different page layouts and given
instructions to reformat them.
o Do not assume that a document is already set as specified.
o If it is in text (.txt) format, it will use the default settings of your word processor.
o If it is opened in rich text format (.rtf) or was saved as a Word document, it will keep
the settings used to save the file.
o In organizing page layout, the actions performed are setting the page size, page
orientation, and page margins.
Organizing Page Layout …
The Purpose of Setting Gutter Margins

If the document is to be part of a bound book or booklet, a gutter will be needed.

This is an area outside the margins that is used to bind (glue or fasten) the book
together.

The gutter can be placed to the left or top of the page, depending upon the type of
binding to be used.
The Purpose of Setting Page, Section, and
Column Breaks.

✔ As you have already studied widows and orphans in the previous chapter, they should
always be avoided when producing a document.
✔ Although (depending upon your word processor’s setup) automatic widow and orphan
control is often running in your word processor, there are times when they need to be
manually removed.
✔ They can be manually removed by inserting a page break, section break, or column
break.
✔ Breaks can be used within a document to force text onto a new page, or into the next
column (if columns are being used), or to define areas with different layouts.
Use Page, Section, and Column Breaks.

Page break - This forces the text onto the start of a new page, leaving white space at
the end of the previous page.

Column break - A column break is used to force the text into the top of the next
available column, which may be on the same page, or the next page.

Section break - A section break is used to split areas of a document with different
layouts. There are two types of section breaks: one forces a page break as well as the
change in layout and the other is a continuous break, which allows different layouts on
the same page.
Use Columns
• Columns can be used to give a layout
similar to that found in a newspaper.
• You may be required to format a
document, or part of a document into
several columns.
• If you are going to have different
column settings for different parts of the
document, you must decide where you
are going to split the document into
different sections.
