Mac OS

A PrintShop Mail document may consist of one or more layouts, all having the same size. There are two ways to specify the layout size and orientation.

Automatic Layout Size

You can choose to base your layout size on the currently selected paper size in the Print Setup dialog, by selecting Layout Size Automatic in the Layout menu. This will cause PrintShop Mail to dynamically resize your layouts to fit on the paper, even when you are using layout repetition.

Fixed Layout Size

You can specify a fixed layout size in the Layout Size dialog. This will force your layout size to stay the same, independent of the currently selected printer and paper size.
