About the Change Layout controls
The Change Layout control appears above most inside pages.
Use these controls to insert boxes for text or pictures and to arrange them on the page. If you add a Custom page (example) or you use the Template Starter, you will use these controls.

About the smart splitter:
-
You can double-click the splitter to make it snap into the position used by the previous page (if the same layout).
-
The splitter can snap into these common locations:
the position used by the previous page,
the position that matches the proportions of the image,
1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and so on,
square.
-
The splitter moves only by full percentage points.
-
If you need more precision, hold down the CTRL key to move by tenths of a percent, ignoring the snap points.
-
When controls are hidden:
-
-
The dashed lines (
and 
) remain available for use. -
You can type words, work with formatting (styles or direct) and change pictures.
-
-
Wall calendars do not use these controls.
