Margin Enter or pick the amount of space you want for the inside and outside margins in the Inside and Outside boxes (margin: the blank space outside the printing area on a page). If you don't want to enter a number, use auto.
The Page Setup dialog box's Margins tab. This is where you set the page's bottom margin. If you select 1 inch as the bottom option, Word ensures that nothing in the body of your text extends beyond the one-inch gap at the bottom of the printed page.
The document margins for facing page papers are top, bottom, inside, and outside. The inner margin is the side of any page that is bound. Each page's outside margin is its outside edge. The outer margin is the distance in inches from the outside edge of one page to the opposite page if they were glued together.
For example, if you have a paper with a width of 8.5 inches and a height of 11 inches, then your inside margin would be 4.5 inches, your outside margin would be 9.5 inches, and your total margin would be 13 inches.
It is important to leave this amount of space on all sides of the paper because you will need it to fit in the binding later. Most books are bound with pages in half sheets or full sheets. Half sheets are those that are 5 3/4 by 8 1/4 inches, while full sheets are 7 by 11 inches.
Even though most books are now printed on sheets that are smaller than an average-size book, for consistency reasons we still call them half sheets and full sheets.
You should avoid using staples to bind your paper because they can damage delicate sheets of music or photographs. Instead, use tape or glue. When taping pages together, allow about 1/4 inch of tape over the edges of each page.
Remove the margins from a Word document.
Select "Printing Preferences" from the pop-up menu, then review the setting options provided by your printer driver. After clicking "Layout," you should be able to manually adjust your margins to zero. If not, try using an application like MS Word or Excel and set the left and right margins to 0.
The selection area of margins is defined as a vacant region in a document's left margin. Through the page configuration, it's usually a blank space that separates text, numbers, symbols, and so on from the very edge of the paper. You can use this area for inserting sheets that are spliced together with bookmarks, or for labeling specific pages.
Check the box for "Show white space between pages in Print Layout View" by navigating to File > Options > Display. This will show you any blank space that might be hiding behind other objects on the page.
The document's margins are its borders to the left, right, top, and bottom. They define the distance between the text in the document and the page's edge. It's critical not to mix up margins with paragraph indenting. Make a new Microsoft Word document. Enter some text into the body of the document. Change the format of the text to bold and italic. Scale the font size down so you can see how much space is taken up by the text on the page. You'll need to scroll horizontally to view all of it. This is because page margins do not scale with font sizes: they remain fixed at 9 inches (23 cm) from the top and bottom of the page.
Page margins help preserve the layout of the document and provide breathing room for additions or changes that may be made later. For example, if you decide that two paragraphs need to be moved closer together to reduce the width of your page, there's no need to worry about them falling out of place. Even if you shrink one of the paragraphs, it will still leave enough space for the other paragraph.
Pages also need margin spaces above and below the actual text itself. These are called "header" and "footer" margins. They're included in the total page margin amount, which is determined when you set up your document's overall formatting. You don't have to worry about header/footer spaces; Microsoft Office takes care of them for you.
