Fix layout problems in a Doc Designer template

Sort out components that print out of position, overlap or hide each other.

Written by Heather Worthington

If your printed document doesn't look like your design, you can usually fix it by adjusting how components are placed. Use the Preview tab to check your layout before you publish.


Components are out of alignment

Adjust the position of the components in the Component tab, rather than dragging them in the design view. Use the same alignment settings for all the components that should line up.

  1. Bulk select the components that should line up by either selecting each whilst holding the Ctrl key, or highlighting the group of components with your mouse.

  2. Click the Component tab, then adjust the alignment settings:

    1. Left aligned

    2. Right aligned

    3. Top aligned

    4. Bottom aligned.

  3. Click the Preview tab to check the layout.

  4. Click Save No, then Publish.


Fields overlap when printed

Overlapping usually happens when a field holds a lot of text, such as a customer name or address.

  • Increase the space between components.

  • Reduce the font size of fields that may hold long text.

  • Move components slightly to reveal anything hidden underneath, then reposition them.

🤓Tip: If text in a product line column is cut off, select the Wrap Text checkbox for that column. See Fix cut-off texts on templates.
