Cannot set up pages correctly. How to name a page.

[cara999]

Hello I am trying out publisher for the first time and having a nightmare.

I am currently using a trial , are things not working because I only have atrial at the moment.

I go file-new-enter my page sizes and all other info pages margins and bleed etc.

I can create a new page but I cannot label it, name it I cannot set up and label a preset.

when I double click on my mouse it just opens the page.

How do I name a file or a page.

thank you.

Welcome to the forums @cara999

The trial software is fully functional apart from the amount of time you can use it for.

You cannot name pages but this has been requested so Serif are aware of the requirement.

You can name presets via the New Document dialog but I’m not sure if that’s what you want to do.

Thank you can you tell me how I name a preset.

When it comes up in a panel and I click on it it just opens it never goes to a name panel.

The term Preset is used in many places, so we need more info to provide the best answer. A screenshot showing where you're having problems might help.

Look for the little Philips head screw next to the Preset name, click it and you'll get a new Preset made, to rename the ones you make just Control + Click or Right Click on it in the My Presets section.

In addition to what Walt said above - it helps us to help you if you are as precise as possible - if you mean page/document presets then my attached video should help.

@cara999, while you are learning how to use the app & identify things like this, it will help if in Preferences > User Interface, you set the Tooltip Delay slider almost all the way to the left, so tooltips pop up very quickly when you hover the pointer over items that have tooltips.

Do that & for example if you hover the pointer over the cross in a circle (the button that looks like the top of a Phillips head screw) this tooltip will pop up:
