Page margins

• Your document has a top, bottom, left and right margin.  This is the space between the edge of your text and the edge of your page.  Each margin may be increased or decreased.  Be careful not to decrease it too much or you may have problems printing the documents.

• To modify your page margins, click on the Page Layout tab.  From the Page Setup section, click on the Margins button.  A list of pre-set options is displayed, as illustrated.
  
  
  

• Experiment with applying these different pre-set margin options.

• To create your own custom margins, click on the Custom Margins command displayed at the bottom of the Margins drop down list.  This will display the Page Setup dialog box, allowing you to set exact values for the margins.  Experiment with setting different margins values.
  
  
  

• Before continuing, reset the margins to the Microsoft Word default values by clicking on the Margins button and selecting the Normal margin command.
