Indesign - How to find out the project dimensions

[tomcaklos]

Hello guys, I am editing this flier for my client - and I am using Indesign for the first time. I opened their source file they gave me so I guess the dimensions are right.

But, I still want to make sure everything is correctly done. Can you guys let me know how can I found out what kind of dimension is the current project I am editing?

Thanks!

You have the potential to do all sorts of damage if you approach this without training. A key point is that in general you never change fonts or styles or similar in the obvious ways (from the menus/toolbars) but by changing styles. Change directly only if the original creator didn't use styles.

Another tip: sizes in InDesign are NOT in pixels, even if (very misleadingly) you can choose "Px" as a unit. Think of this as "nonsense pixels" as a unit. InDesign work is measured in inches or millimetres. If it is meant for web use, there are some tricks to saving with a predictable pixel count, though saving direct as PNG or JPEG from InDesign is problematic and may not be the best route.

Click the Pages tool in the tool bar on the left.

Click the page - the dimensions are shown in the Properties panel if it's shown on the right.

Or it's in the control bar at the top Window>Control

I think you should take a bit of time and learn the software basics.

Adobe have Tutorials

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. As @Eugene Tyson suggested, click any page and check the properties panel on the right for the dimensions. Also, you can modify or check the dimensions by going to File menu > Document setup. I hope it helps!
