Paper Space/Model Space help 6

[CadPrincess]

I'm new to this site. I've been reading through looking for guidance. I've worked on AutoCad for 16 years. MicroStation 12 years and a few other smaller cad packages. NEVER have I worked for a company that has a client that uses Paper Space...until now. We just got a client that uses it. I'm lost. I just can not comprehend it. Could someone please help get started on setting up a file?? I've read...and re-read subjects within the AutoCad HELP and I still don't get it.
I know...everyone out there is going to think I'm a loser idiot...but we all have some sort of hangup somewhere along the way we struggle with. I am certain I can do this with some guidance. Help....

Also LTScale needs attention

The last two companies I worked for did not lock their viewports. I still scratch my head to this day as to why. I can only assume they're still used to 14.

I made macros as follows:

VF freezes the layer that the viewport borders are on
VT thaws the layer that the viewport borders are on
VL locks all viewport
VU unlocks all viewport

Very handy!!
