Changing the Orientation of the Page
              Orientation of the page refers to the direction in which a document is displayed or printed. There are two
              main types of page orientation, namely, Portrait and Landscape.

              In Portrait orientation, the height of the page is greater than the width, while in Landscape orientation, the
              width of the page is greater than the height. By default, the document                2
              is displayed in the Portrait orientation.

              Margin

              Margin is the gap between the edge and the beginning of the text, i.e., the outer boundary of the text in a
              document, beyond which the contents of the document do not flow. Each document has four margins, which
              are as follows:

              Ð ÐLeft margin: The space between the text and the left edge of the page is referred to as the left margin.
              Ð ÐRight margin: The space between the text and the right edge of the page is referred to as the right margin.

              Ð ÐTop margin: The space between the text and the top edge of the page is referred to as the top margin.
              Ð ÐBottom margin: The space between the text and the bottom edge of the page is referred to as the bottom
                 margin.
              The default values of the margins of the document are 0.79” on top and bottom and 0.79” on the left and
              right. To set up the margins of the document, follow the given steps:
              Step 1:  Click on the Format menu.

              Step 2:  Select the Page Style option. The Page Style dialog box appears on the screen.
