Using Blank 
Pages 

•  When starting with a new document, you will see a blank page 

with/without Margin Guides set to a size specified in the Page Setup 
dialog box.  A rectangle with a black key line and a drop shadow 
represents the page.  If you set page margins for your page they will 
be represented by a bright magenta colored keyline which will be 
smaller than your page size, and two darker colored Column Guides 
on the left and right side of the page: 
 

 

 

 
Note: If you set all of your page margins to zero, the margin guides 
and column guides will become the keyline of the page. 

 
 
Using the 
Pasteboard 

•  The Pasteboard is the non-printing area outside the blank page.  The 

function of the pasteboard in PageMaker is the same as the traditional 
pasteboard, simply select objects and move them onto the pasteboard 
for use on other pages.  You can leave items on the pasteboard until 
you are ready to use them: 
 

 

 
Note: If you go to another page in your document, the items on the 
pasteboard will still stay in place, and they will always be visible unless 
you delete them.
