Page Margins

The page margins of the document can be changed using either the rulers on the page or the Page Setup dialog box. To use the ruler method:

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

Alternatively you can set the margins in the Page Setup dialog box:

1. Go to the Ribbon, to the Page Layout tab in the bottom right corner of the group, click the arrow-in-a-box button to open the Page Setup dialog box.
2. Enter margin values in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes. The Preview pane at the bottom will reflect the changes. The gutter is the gap between columns if you have them.
3. If the document has Headers or Footers, the distance this text appears from the edge of the page can be changed.
