Create a blank document

Learn how to create a blank document with the default template in Adobe FrameMaker.

You may want to start with a blank FrameMaker document if you’re defining a template for your organization or team.

  1. Choose File > New > Document.

  2. Specify the basic page layout:

    • To create a standard one-column document, click Portrait or Landscape.

    • To create a document with custom page size, columns, column margins, and pagination settings, click Custom and specify the required values. Click Create.

      You can also select a measurement unit for the document. FrameMaker displays measurements in dialog boxes and in the document window’s status bar in the selected unit.

  3. Add content to the document.
