Shows how to specify page properties in inches.

auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// A section's "Page Setup" defines the size of the page margins in points.
// We can also use the "ConvertUtil" class to use a more familiar measurement unit,
// such as inches when defining boundaries.
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::PageSetup> pageSetup = builder->get_PageSetup();
pageSetup->set_TopMargin(Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::InchToPoint(1.0));
pageSetup->set_BottomMargin(Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::InchToPoint(2.0));
pageSetup->set_LeftMargin(Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::InchToPoint(2.5));
pageSetup->set_RightMargin(Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::InchToPoint(1.5));

// An inch is 72 points.
ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(72.0, Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::InchToPoint(1));
ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(1.0, Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::PointToInch(72));

// Add content to demonstrate the new margins.
builder->Writeln(System::String::Format(u"This Text is {0} points/{1} inches from the left, ", pageSetup->get_LeftMargin(), Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::PointToInch(pageSetup->get_LeftMargin())) + System::String::Format(u"{0} points/{1} inches from the right, ", pageSetup->get_RightMargin(), Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::PointToInch(pageSetup->get_RightMargin())) + System::String::Format(u"{0} points/{1} inches from the top, ", pageSetup->get_TopMargin(), Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::PointToInch(pageSetup->get_TopMargin())) + System::String::Format(u"and {0} points/{1} inches from the bottom of the page.", pageSetup->get_BottomMargin(), Aspose::Words::ConvertUtil::PointToInch(pageSetup->get_BottomMargin())));
