In Microsoft Word for Mac OS X, how do I change the margins?
In Word v.X, 2004, and 2008 for Mac OS X, you can change the
margins either in Document Layout view or with the Print
Preview option. Follow the instructions below:
Setting margins in Document Layout view
From the Format menu, select Document... . In
the resulting window, click the Margins tab. To change the
margins, change the numbers in the boxes by entering a new number or
using the up and down arrows.
Setting margins using the Print Preview option
To change the margins in the Print Preview window, from
the File menu, select Print Preview. You can change
the margins by dragging the margin indicators along the ruler at the
top and side of the page.
Setting different margins within each section
If you want to have different margins for different sections of the
same document, you can insert section breaks. To insert a section
break, move the cursor to the place where you want the new section to
start. From the Insert menu, select Break, and then
select the appropriate type of section break. This will create a
small double line where the new section starts. A section will
continue to the end of the document or up to the next section break.
