Borders and shading of master pages: Here you can change the border and
shading of a master page (and thus of all document pages in the chapter). If you
click the Change button, a popup menu appears where you can select which
type of master page to change. After that, a dialog with options to modify border
and shading is displayed.
Chapter starts on
Whenever you insert a chapter break, TextMaker adds a page break. Accordingly,
new chapters always begin on new pages.
Now, when you change the setting of Chapter starts on from Either page (the
default) to Right page, for example, TextMaker makes sure that the chapter always
begins on a right page by automatically adding a blank page as necessary
at the end of the previous chapter.
For example, it is customary for every chapter in a printed book to begin on a
right page. This allows the reader to page through the book quickly to find the
beginning of any chapter of interest.
Chapter number
TextMaker automatically numbers chapters incrementally. You can always see
the number of the current chapter in the status bar.
When you change the Chapter number setting from Increment (the default)
to Value, you can set the chapter number yourself by entering it in the value
field. For example, if you enter “5” as the number for the third chapter, the
chapters will have the numerical sequence 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 etc.
Tip: The chapter number can be inserted into the text (for example, in a header
or footer) at any time with the Insert > Field command.
Vertical Alignment
Here you can change the vertical alignment of the body text on the page.
For example, when you choose Centered, the text is vertically centered on the
page. When you choose Justified, the paragraphs are spaced equally in such a
way that the text begins right below the top page margin and ends right above
the bottom page margin.
Page number
Automatic page numbering can be modified as well. To modify the page
numbering, change the Page number setting from Increment to Value and enter
the desired number for the first page of the chapter in the adjacent field.
