A ruler displays the position of the margins.
To set new margins using ruler bars:
Open the document in ‘Print Layout View’ by clicking on the Ruler bars. The ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ margins are
shown by the left and right markers (shaded part) on the horizontal ruler. The Top and Bottom margins are
shown by the top and bottom markers (shaded part) on the vertical ruler.
Step 1: To change the margin, place the mouse pointer on the respective margin of the boundary on the
horizontal ruler bar. (The mouse pointer changes to a double-headed arrow (2) and the screen tip
identifies the margin.)
Step 2: Drag the margin marker to the desired length.

Step 1: Select the ‘Page’ option from the ‘Format’ menu.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Page’ tab.
