Working with Documents
There are several ways to create a new document. If the Template Gallery is open, select one of the templates and click the New Blank button.
If the Template Gallery is not open, choose the File > New (Cmd-N) in the menu. Depending on the For New Documents settings in the Preferences dialog, the program will open either the Template Gallery, the New Document dialog or a new document.
The New Document dialog lets you review and change the main document settings.
The page size and orientation as well as the margin settings apply to all pages of a new document. You will be able to change these settings at any time later using the Inspector. However you should be careful when you set up the Page Spread Mode option. The page spread or single page mode can be selected only in the New Document dialog before a new document is created, and it cannot be changed later.
The Page Spread Mode option lets you choose one of the document layouts. The canvas can show either one page at a time or a page spread.
