Setting Page Margins for Word Documents

From James Marshall, former About.com Guide

The best way to change the margins in your Word document is to use the tools on the Page Layout ribbon.

First, open the Page Layout ribbon. In the Page Setup section, click Margins. On the menu that appears, you can select from a number of pre-defined margin settings.

You can also select Custom Margins if you'd like to specify your own margins. Keep reading for instructions.
