Changing Page Margins
You can change page margins in two ways:
- Using the page rulers—quick and easy, but does not have fine control
- Using the Page Style dialog—can specify margins to two decimal places
To change margins using the rulers:
- The gray sections of the rulers are the margins. Put the mouse cursor over the line between the gray and white sections. The pointer turns into a double-headed arrow.
- Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to move the margin.
To change margins using the Page Style dialog:
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select Page from the pop-up menu.
- On the Page tab of the dialog, type the required distances in the Margins boxes.
