Look at the rest of the window. Everything is pretty much straight forward. You will see that in Page Size you have several page settings (letter, legal, tabloid, etc.) You can choose the size of your page from that menu or you can enter a custom size yourself. If you want to know what the word gutter in the Columns section means, go to the About Desktop Publishing Glossary entry for gutter.
You will probably also wonder what the Master Text Frame option is. First of all you need to understand what a Master Page is. A master page is a special page which will not print, unless you tell InDesign to do so. It's a page where you can set a basic layout and then all of the other pages that you will add to your document and which are based on that master page will look the same.
You can add or take off items from any page that is based on your master page and you can have more than one master page. We will have a look at the master pages a bit more in-depth in another lesson. Right now you just need to know what they are.
