Azul - All Page Sizes

"Azul - All Page Sizes" is not a traditional FrameMaker template. Rather it is a collection of the standard FrameMaker template, but in a large number of page sizes and orientations.

Thing is... FrameMaker has a few standard page sizes built into the "New Document" dialogue, but these page sizes can not be changed and it is not possible to add other page sizes. Also FrameMaker does not have the Portrait/Landscape function which will allow a user to change page orientation on the fly. You want to change from the initial Portrait option to Landscape...? You will have to customize the page size to the values defining the landscape option.

Rather than staying frustrated with these oddities, we went for a low-end practical solution!

We have defined and saved the standard FrameMaker template in a number of page sizes. See complete list below. What you do is: Download the package and put the folder "Azul - All Sizes" in the template folder on your local drive and you are ready to quickly create new documents in standard page sizes and orientation.

AND... there is more! When you define a page size in FrameMaker, which is smaller than A4/Letter, you will discover, that the tables on the reference pages no longer fit! These tables have absolute sizes and do not scale with the document. It is annoying, but the "Azul - All Sizes" template pack has taken care of that too!
