14.1.3 Page in Control Palette

It defines the print area of a publication. We can set the dimensions of the page while creating a
new publication.
14.1.4 Pasteboard in Control Palette

The PageMaker Pasteboard is similar to the old style paste-up or mock-up boards used by
newspapers and magazines to layout pages. In PageMaker, the Pasteboard appears as a large
white space all around the marked off area of the document. It provides a workspace outside the
page where you can store and manipulate elements before positioning them on the page.

14.1.5 Styles and Color Palettes

Color Palette in PageMaker is used to assign spot, process and tints for all objects and text within
the document. Note that placed EPS graphics will import their colors within the color palette.
