Remarks

On the Macintosh, sets page attributes such as margins and page width for the entire document or sections within the document. With the exception of .Tab, the arguments for FileDocumentLayout are the same as the arguments described for FilePageSetup. In Windows, use FilePageSetup.

Argument	Explanation

.Tab	Specifies which tab to select when you display the Document Layout dialog box with a Dialog or Dialog() instruction: 0 (zero) Margins 1 If QuickDraw GX is installed, Paper Size; if not, Margins 2 Margins 3 Layout

Keep the following points in mind when using FileDocumentLayout:

Setting page size and orientation does not override those set by the user in the Page Setup dialog box (supplied by the printer driver). For more information, see the note in FileMacPageSetup.
Word does not have access to Macintosh paper source settings. Although settings for .FirstPage and .OtherPages are saved with the document, they are ignored when printing. If the document is printed in Windows, however, the options take effect.
