margins
Working on a document and I am trying to determine the margins for it. There
is a ruler on top, but it is kind of misleading since it is measured by inches and it starts with one and the next number is one again. I am trying to set margins on left, top and right to one inch without tables and text on page 2-10 without it going out of wack. Can anyone explain how to accomplish this? I have already gone to filepage setup and changed margins to desired inches and selected apply to €śselected text€ť and this throws everything out of alignment. |

margins
First point - you do *not* want to choose Apply to: Selected Text for
exactly the reason you have discovered. Set the margins in the Page Setup dialog but make sure it applies to Whole Document. Although Word gives you the option of setting different margins within the document it can cause some serious issues if you do. You are better off to keep you margins consistent throughout the document and use Left and/or Right Indents as required. Second, re the measurements on the ruler - The dark ends of the rulers indicate the margin sizes measured from the edge of the 'page' and the light part indicates the amount of printable area between the margins measured margin to margin. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "teddkilroy" wrote in message ...
