Page Margins

The page margins of the document can be changed using the rulers on the page and the Page Setup window. The ruler method is discussed first:

• Move the mouse over the area where the white ruler changes to gray.
  
• When the cursor becomes a double-ended arrow, click with the mouse and drag the margin indicator to the desired location.
• Release the mouse when the margin is set.

The margins can also be changed using the Page Setup dialog box:

• Select File|Page Setup and choose the Margins tab in the dialog box.
  
• Enter margin values in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes. The Preview window will reflect the changes.
• If the document has Headers and/or Footers, the distance this text appears from the edge of the page can be changed.
• Click OK when finished.
