Controlling the Drawing Area

---

The size of a document window is not necessarily the same as the size of the drawing area of the page. A document window, in most cases, actually covers only a portion of the drawing area.

The following options allow you to set the drawing area displayed on your screen.

• Document Settings and Page Setup from the File menu allow you to set the size and orientation of the page, margins, headers, footers, and the document type and size.
• View menu options: Actual Size, Fit to Window, Magnify, and Reduce.
• Magnification Controls: enlarge and reduce
• Dragging to enlarge the drawing area.
• Drag the Size box in the lower right corner of the document window.

The size of drawing area displayed depends on the size and resolution of your monitor. In some cases you can see the entire document.

If you magnify a document, the drawing area size and drawing objects become bigger. If you increase the magnification so that the page size becomes bigger than the screen, scroll bars become available.
