Margins let Word know where to start placing text at the top of a document, when to move on to the next page at the bottom, where to start typing text on the left side, and where to stop and move to the next line on the right. You can also select Custom Margins from the drop-down menu on the Margins button and enter the desired custom values in the Margins section on the Page Setup dialog box. Printing issues associated with a network printer are best handled by your local network administrator or support personnel. Use print scaling (the percentage size to print the final content) set to a number below 10 percent. If you need to temporarily change the margins to values other than the default values for a specific document in Word, click the Page Layout tab and select a set of predefined margin values from the drop-down menu. For example, setting the left and right margins to 5 inches (no room for content to fit on the page). NOTE: When you click Yes on confirmation dialog box, the Page Setup dialog box is also closed. NOTE: In Word 2010 and later, the Default button is called Set As Default.Ī confirmation dialog box displays making sure you want to change the default settings for Page Setup. Enter the margins you want to use as the default margins in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right edit boxes in the Margins section.
