Quick Tips
- You can use preset margin options in the Layout tab or create a custom margin.
- Custom margins can be applied to the whole or part of the document.
- Using the ruler to adjust your page margins is more suitable when dealing with short-length documents.
Method 1: Adjust the Page Margin of a Word Document Using the Ruler
Step 1: Open the Word document for which you want to adjust the page margin.
Step 2: Click the View tab, and in the Show group, tick the box next to Ruler to launch the Microsoft Word ruler. Then select all the text in the document.
Step 3: Depending on the margin you want to adjust, place your mouse pointer between the boundary, i.e., between the grey and white space at the top or left of the Word page. This will convert the mouse pointer to a double-sided arrow.
Step 4: Slide the double-sided arrow left, right, down, or up to adjust the page margin.
