Create Alternate Layouts

To create an alternate layout, do one of the following:

Choose Layout > Create Alternate Layout

Choose Create Alternate Layout from the Pages panel menu

Create Alternate Layouts

In the Create Alternate Layouts dialog box, specify the following options:

Enter the name of the alternate layout.

Select the source layout where your content is located.

Select a page size or enter a custom size for the alternate layout.

These fields display the size of the alternate layout. You can enter your own values, but that changes the Page Size to custom.

Choose an orientation for the alternate layout. If you switch between Portrait and Landscape, the Height and Width are updated.

Choose a liquid page rule to apply to the alternate layout. Select Preserve Existing to inherit the liquid page rules applied to

the source pages. Select another rule to apply new liquid page rules.

Enable this option to place objects and to link them to the original objects on the source layout. When you update the original object,

it is easier to manage updates for linked objects. See Linked Content.

Enable this option to copy all text styles, and place them in a new group. This option is useful if you need

to vary the text styles between various layouts.

Enable this option to remove any forced line breaks and other style overrides to the text.
