# PageWidth Element

Specifies the width of the page in drawing units.

## Syntax

    <PageWidth>
        [Unit]
        [F]
        [Err]>
    </PageWidth>

## Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

## Remarks

The default unit for the PageWidth element is NUM. In practice, however, you should always specify the default width unit as an explicit unit, so a Unit attribute is always saved out. For example, if the default width unit is millimeters, `<PageWidth Unit="MM">` will be saved in the DatadiagramML file.

The PageWidth element is relevant only when contained in a PageSheet element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet, Shape, or StyleSheet element.
