Create a new document with a layout grid
1. Choose File > New > Document.
2. Change the number of pages, page size, and other options. To specify the dimensions of the bleed and slug areas, click More Options.
3. Click Layout Grid Dialog, and then specify the layout grid settings. (See Layout Grid options .)
4. Click OK to open a new document with the settings you specified.
The layout grid is for layout purposes only. To add text to your document, add frame grids or text frames.
Create a new document with margins and columns
When creating a document with Western style workflow, use Margins and Columns. If the general layout settings such as margins and number of
columns in a document are already known, use the Margins and Columns dialog box as the simplest method.
1. Choose File > New > Document.
2. Specify options using the New Document dialog box. Each option is the same as when creating a document using a layout grid.
3. Click Margins and Columns and select your options using the New Margins and Columns dialog box. The options are the same as in the
Margins and Columns dialog box. (See Change document setup, margins, and columns .)
4. Click OK.
Even when a document has been created using Margins and Columns, you can view its layout grid by choosing View > Grids & Guides > Show
Layout Grid, and you can modify the layout grid settings by choosing Layout > Layout Grid.
To set the default settings for all new documents, choose File > Document Setup, Layout > Margins and Columns, or Layout > Layout Grid
Settings, and set options when no documents are open.
New Document options
Choose a preset that you have saver earlier.
If you are creating a document to be output to PDF or SWF for the web, choosing the Web option changes several options in the dialog
box, such as turning off Facing Pages, changing the orientation from portrait to landscape, and using a page size based on monitor resolution. You
can edit any of these settings, but you cannot change the Intent setting after the document is created.
CS6: Digital publishing intent has been added for publications aimed for the Digital Publishing Suite.
Specify the number of pages to create in the new document.
