With MacDraw II, changes in Page Setup are automatically reflected in the screen drawing area and the Drawing Size dialog box. For example, if you click Options in the LaserWriter Page Setup dialog box and then click Larger Print Area, the drawing size increases to reflect the new settings.

If you make conflicting choices, the last one becomes the active one.

For example, if you click the landscape orientation in the Page Setup dialog box, but specify a drawing size of 12 x 17 inches, the latter specification overrides the former setting and you get portions of pages in the drawing area. However, if you return to the Page Setup dialog box and click OK again, the landscape orientation becomes the last specification and expands the drawing area to consist of whole pages.
