Body width. Body width sets how the page content uses the browser window space. Full - the page always stretches to the entire browser width. Compact - the content uses as little space as possible. Standard - the content stretches to about 2/3 of a page.

Body align. This option lets you choose whether the page body aligns to the left or the center.

 

Additional top bar options can be found on the Editor screen. Additional options include top bar color, fixed top bar etc.

Grid type

Page Designer can change the appearance of the grid type.

 

You can choose one of three grid types: horizontal, vertical or columns in Simple or Advanced grid mode. In the Advanced grid mode, you can easily change the properties of labels, cells, and columns when you need to set specific formatting. If you don't change anything in advanced mode, the generated pages look the same as in the simple mode.

 

To switch to Advanced grid mode, press the button above the grid:

pd_layout_advanced_grid

 

To switch back to a Simple grid type, click Change under the page properties on the right side, and choose one of the simple grid types.

page_layout_simple_grid

 

Example of a horizontal grid:

pd_page_layout_hor_grid_ex

 

Example of a vertical grid:

pd_page_layout_vert_grid_ex

 

Example of a columns grid with three columns:
