    Default page setup lines on artboard?

    hi,

    just switched to CS. this seems like a very dumb question, but i can't seem to do the equivalent of what would be "page setup" in previous versions of illustrator.

    my objective is to be able to see the dotted line of the page layout on my artboard, so that i can adjust my artwork in relation to it, snap to it, etc.

    when i open legacy documents, i can see the dotted lines, but when i create new documents i can't get them to appear. going to page setup in the print dialog box doesn't help. i get the message about "page setup is a system preference, etc", select "letter" or whatever, and still nothing is indicated on the artboard.

    thanks,
    jon

    nevermind folks, answered my own dumb question by looking a little harder at the print dialog--found that "media size" pulldown menu!
