Hi manystories,

In Pages for Mac, both horizontal and vertical rulers will show in a Page Layout document, where the page is composed of several objects placed independently on the page, For Pages word processing documents, there's an option to enable the vertical ruler in the Rulers section of Pages Preferences.

Page size and orientation are set using these controls in the Page Setup menu item in the File menu.

Your 13" print area measurement implies it is set for a US Letter size sheet, with half inch margins at left and right (and probably at top and bottom). If that's default setting (rather than a custom setting you created), it's a pleasant change from the 1" margins all around of earlier Pages versions.

Aspect ration of that sheet in landscape mode is 8 1/2 : 11 and of the print area, if I've guessed right on the margin settings, would be 7 1/2 : 10 1/2 (or in whole numbers 15:21, which reduces to 5:7.

Controls should be similar, but not identical, in the iOS version of Pages, but the iWork for iOS would be a better oplace to get that information.

Regards,

Barry
