At the beginning of working with the document, you need to set the page parameters (this can be done at any time while working with the document). Usually, the initial page settings are the most appropriate and you don't need to change anything. However, sometimes you may want the pages of your document to be horizontal (like in an album) instead of vertical (like in a book). Or perhaps you want to change the margins - the distance from the edge of the page to the text.

All this can be set on the tab Page layout tool tapes. This tab contains tools that are responsible for various actions on page layout and text layout.
