Layout attributes

There are two groups of layout attributes: those on the layout Overview page and those that apply to individual parts of the layout. When you select a layout format in the layout Design view or Outline view, you can set different combinations of format attributes, depending on the format. Many attributes are common to all formats, such as the Name attribute. Others are more specific, for example the link fragment text attributes for fragments.
