Start a new RemPress document, choose the page size and orientation you need, add text and images, arrange the objects on the page, save the editable project, then preview the result before printing. You can return to the saved project later and keep editing. The basic RemPress workflow RemPress is designed around a straightforward page-layout workflow. You create a page, place objects on it, edit those objects, save the project and then print when the layout is ready. Unlike a word processor, page-layout software gives you more direct control over where individual text boxes, images and design elements sit on the page. Create the document Start a new document and choose the page setup. Add content Insert text boxes, images and other supported objects. Arrange the layout Move, resize, rotate and layer items until the page looks right. Save the project Save an editable RemPress project before printing or making major changes. Preview and print Check the full page, printer, paper size and orientation before sending the job to the printer. 1. Choose your page setup Start with the physical page you intend to create. Common choices include A4 and A3, with portrait or landscape orientation. If you are working from an existing design, match the original page size before placing objects. A page-size mismatch at the beginning can cause unnecessary scaling and repositioning later, so it is worth checking this first. Choose the correct paper size. Choose portrait or landscape orientation. Use Fit to Page or the zoom controls to see the whole document while arranging large objects. If you are reproducing an existing layout, note its page dimensions before rebuilding it. 2. Add your first text box Add a text box where you want the wording to appear, then type or paste your text. Treat each independent block of text as its own object when you want precise control over placement. You can then adjust text formatting and move or resize the text box without affecting unrelated objects. For a cleaner layout, use fewer deliberate text boxes rather than dozens of tiny fragments unless the design genuinely needs them. 3. Add and position images Insert or paste an image, then move and resize it on the page. Resize from the corner handles when you want to preserve the image's proportions. If the image needs a different visible area, use the crop controls rather than stretching the image to force it into shape. Use high-resolution source images when print quality matters. Resize proportionally where possible. Use crop to change the visible area without permanently editing the source image. Check the image again after rotation or large scaling changes. 4. Arrange and layer objects Page layouts often contain overlapping text and images. If one object is hiding another, change the stacking order using Bring to Front or Send to Back. You can use alignment and centre snapping to position objects more accurately. Keyboard arrow movement is useful for smaller adjustments where dragging with the mouse would be too coarse. Click an object before moving or resizing it. Use the grey workspace or an empty part of the document to clear a selection. Use Bring to Front / Send to Back when objects overlap. Group related items when you want to move them together, then ungroup them when individual editing is needed. 5. Save before you print Save the editable RemPress project before printing, especially after significant changes. A saved project lets you return later and continue editing instead of rebuilding the page. Use a meaningful filename such as 'Summer-Flyer-A4' rather than a generic name such as 'Document1'. Keep project files and source images together in a sensible folder structure if the document depends on external assets. 6. Preview the whole page Before printing, view the complete page and look for accidental clipping, off-centre objects, incorrect orientation, unexpected white margins or objects sitting outside the intended printable area. Print preview is particularly important when the printer, driver and paper setup can change how the physical result compares with the on-screen document. Correct page size Correct orientation Correct printer selected Text fully visible Images not stretched Cropping looks intentional Objects are aligned No accidental items outside the page Project saved What to learn next Once you are comfortable creating a basic document, the most useful next skills are working confidently with text boxes, cropping images and understanding the print workflow.
