Changing your margins -- permanently

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Changing your margins in Microsoft Word -- permanently!

Do the 1.25" left and right page margins in Microsoft Word drive you crazy? Do you change them every time you type a new document? Would you like to change them PERMANENTLY?

It's simple. Just click File, then click Page Setup. Click in the "Left" box (that's the left margin) and type in the new left margin size you'd like. I use 1". Click in the "Right" box (that's the right margin) and type in the new size. I use 1" here too. Then look in the bottom left corner of this dialog box and click "Default." A warning message will appear asking if you want to change the default settings for page setup. Click "Yes" and you're done!

This tip, complete with diagrams, is found on page 66 of Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics. If you would like to order a copy, click here.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
