Setting up Your Document
When you begin your Macromedia FreeHand project, you can choose among
various document settings to best meet your design and final output requirements.
You use the Document inspector to set page options such as page size and
orientation, bleed value, and final output resolution. You can also use the
Document inspector to define custom page sizes and set the unit of measurement
for your document. You can create templates to use as defaults for creating new
documents. You can also create master pages to create a consistent look
throughout a document.
To aid in aligning and placing objects in your documents, you can set up guides,
grids, and page rulers.
You can import many formats of graphics and text into FreeHand. If you open or
import a graphic that uses fonts not installed on your system, you can replace the
missing fonts.
In Windows, you can quickly begin a project and simplify your workflow using
FreeHand wizards, interactive screens that guide you through and simplify a
variety of tasks.
