(pāj) (n.) (1) A fixed amount of data.

Applications permit certain operations for each type of component; for example, you can delete a character, a word, a line, and sometimes an entire page. For pages, you can also specify formatting characteristics (for example, page size, margins, and number of columns).
(3) In virtual memory systems, a page is a fixed number of bytes recognized by the operating system.
(4) Short for Web page.
(v.) (1) To display one page (or screenful) of a document at a time. To contrast, see scroll.
