Changing the default page size

You may prefer new documents to use, for example, A4 page size. To do this, change the template document.

To change the default page size

1. From the File menu, choose Open. This opens a new blank document.

2. From the File menu, choose Page Options.

3. From the Paper Size menu, select the new page size. For example A4.

4. Click OK to close the dialog box.

5. From the File Menu, choose Save Template.

6. Select Use as Default Template. This saves the template document with the new paper size.

This change applies to all new documents. It has no effect on existing documents.

Tips

To change the page size for only the document you are working on, skip steps 5 & 6.

Similarly, you can also change the page orientation from landscape to portrait.

Note that you can have a maximum of 12 template documents.

To discard any changes you have made to the default document, you can return to the original default document supplied with Xara LX (the factory default). To do this, delete the template.xar file in your Xara LX folder. Xara LX recreates the factory default document the next time you run Xara LX.
