Document window notes:
• Lines of other colors are ruler guides which, when present, appear in the layer color when selected. See “ Layers ” on
page 78.
• Column guides appear in front of margin guides. When a column guide is exactly in front of a margin guide, it hides
the margin guide.

You can create custom page sizes that appear in the Page Size menu in the New Document dialog box.
1 Choose File > New > Document.
