Page Setup
In the Page Setup window, the toolbar displays the icons for Open, Save, Save As and Revert and a drop down box Show Items.
Tip
With regard to Revert, a word of caution is in order. Clicking on Revert after changes have been made in the Page Setup window, will reload the currently active layout file, erasing all changes unless they have been saved. This represents the prime function for Revert. Should you wish to revert to your previous settings while still in Page Setup, clicking Revert will allow you to do this provided that you have not saved any changes.
Beneath the toolbar, the label Usage: Select a template along the left, and right-click any element to edit the look of that element. clearly states the Page Setup method of use. All attribute changes are dynamic and do not necessitate reloading while in Page Setup. See the section Changing Attributes for details on changing the appearance of your recipe elements.
When the Page Setup window first appears, you will probably need to resize it in order to view all the recipe elements. When the window is resized, all recipe elements will be scaled fit within the confines of the window.
