It will allow you to create a document up to a fraction of an inch in width of
the paper width chosen in Page Setup.  If, for example, you tell it landscape
you will be able to get close to 11 inch width.  If you have an ImageWriter LQ
and choose Computer Paper, you can get close to 14.875 inches, etc.  You also
set the margins from the Page Setup dialog.  This is the "frame" around the
area on which you may print -- everything done from "Layout..." is within the
printable area defined in Page Setup.

If you hadn't explicitly posted that this came from using the Demo that was
given out at MacWorld, I would have said "RTFM" as it is explained clearly
enough there that my poor, usually befuddled mother was able to comprehend it;
however, it is not clear what is going on unless you stumble across the "Set
Margins" button in the Page Setup dialog.
