- Set Columns and the Gutter between them.
- Set the margins: Top, Bottom, Inside and Outside.
- Set Bleed if the document goes to print.
- Tick Primary Text Frame if you want a text frame that fills the margins on each page.
- Click OK.

The Preset list has these page sizes:
- Print: Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter - Half, A3, A4, A5, A6, B5, Business Card, Postcard.
