Page size for the background= Page size of the first page of the drawing

[Chris]

Hi all

How do I set up a formula to have the page size for the background page=page
size of the first page of the drawing ?

I know I have to set up the "PageWidth" to somthing like this:

PageWidth=Pages[1].PageWidth

but it doesn't work. I am getting an error. Any clue ?

I have to mention that my idea is to set a template for a page which has the
size the same as the drawing has.
The problem is that I need to locate let's say the logo of the company
always down in the left corner of the page.The page's size could be changes
according with the size of the drawing so this is why I need to relocate the
logo automatically

Thank you very much

Chris

I can never remember this either...

You are very close, but you need a few things:

1. The referenced page by name, but without quotes [Page-1]. Indexes don't
seem to be allowed for some reason.
2. A bang after the brackets
3. "ThePage!" before Page width

It all adds up to:

=Pages[MyPagename]!ThePage!PageWidth
