Expert: James Fritz - 5/22/2009


Question
I'm using many templates to design mailers, print ads, posters and many more.... and every time I have to change the size of the document in the slug area. Do you have any solution for this?? Like we insert text variables for modification date and other things....
Please help me to solve this problem!! greatly appreciated!!

Answer
Krishna,

When you create your template, whatever slug size you created will be included with that template.

Ex- letter (8.5" x 11" with 1" slug). If you save this as a template it will always have that slug.

If you open a template and you don't like the slug size, you can change it for that particualr document by going to: file > document setup.
