Edit Margin Lines


   If margin lines are not visible, choose Show Margin Lines from the View menu to display the guides.      Drag a margin line to move it.


Margin lines separate the main text area from the headers and footers and outline where, on a page, you may type.
You can move the vertical margin lines to change the left and right margins for the document.  When you move these margins, the margin markers in the ruler change.
The easiest place to grab a margin line is outside any text area, in the corners of the page.
There is one set of margins per document, so adjusting the margins affects all pages.
Adjusting the top or bottom margin line will change the size of the header of footer.  Adjusting a header or footer margin line will not change the height of the header or footer in a document.
