SmartDesk for Authoring Online Help

Convert Document Size With Window

To convert the document size using the SmartDesk window:
  1. On the Document tab in Liquent SmartDesk for Authoring, select Convert to A4 or Convert to Letter, depending on the document size desired.
    Selecting one option will cancel the other, and will convert the document to the standards for the selected document size.
  2. To view the standards, click View Standards.
    • Letter document size standards (portrait): Margins: Top=1, Bottom=1, Left=1.13, Right=1.11
    • A4 document size standards (portrait): Margins: Top=1, Bottom=1.69, Left=1, Right=1
    • Document size standard properties: Gutter=0; From Edge: Header=0.5, Footer=0.5
  3. On the Document tab, select the Keep Print Area option to maintain the current printing area during document size conversion. Selecting this option will prevent document text reflow.
    • The Validate option is automatically selected whenever the Keep Print Area option is selected. This option validates the document sections for margin consistency, as each document section can have different margin settings. Using different margin settings for different document sections can cause unexpected results when converting document size while maintaining the print area.
    • To validate the document sections only, you can select Validate and then click Convert.
  4. On the Document tab, click Convert.
