![]() Tada, this is the width and the height of this page. Let's look at this page, which looks a little bit wider, correct? So if we look at this page and go to the Page Tool, which is the third tool down, it puts handles around the page that is the active page, and look up here. So let's look at another page in our document. Another way to tell is to use the Page tool. There we go, so now we know the size of those pages, and a five-inch square is five inch by five inch. So postcard is three inches by nine inches. If we go to custom, that was the custom size of postcard. The user had created a size called postcard. This lets you not only edit the page size, but also lets you apply a page size from here. However, what you can do is if you're wondering how big these pages are you can double click one or both and then look at this little icon at the bottom. It would be nice if we could right click and get like dimensions of the page, but no, you can't. How can I tell the size of these pages? Here, let's actually open up the Pages panel. Well, it was set up with eight and a half by 11, but obviously it's not eight and a half by 11 anymore. I said, well go to File, Document Setup, which is normally where you would go, this is what it looked like when you were creating the document, and it says eight and a half by 11. So if you're trying to do something like, I simply asked my client, "What size is your page?" And she could not tell. This one's actually a subtle amount has been added to the width. ![]() You can see that some of the pages are slightly different. ![]() Now you might think, what, what the heck? When I create a new document, this is where I specify the size, eight and a half by 11, right? And this document was specified with eight and a half by 11. So I'm going to show you a few different ways to tell the size of your pages in your files. Today I want to show you something that a client actually pointed out to me, and the fact was that there is no built-in way to tell the size of every page in a document, and she needed to know that.
