Hi Erin- upon opening, my Word document has no margins. How did that happen? I can't seem to change that. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Finally. I was trying to adjust only the up down vertical of the whole document. I could only adjust one page at a time. If I selected Ctrl + A, the left side vertical ruler would dissapear. Finally, when she said to try the Layout tab, I found the margins button and could change the whole document to fit the way I liked. Thank you. Very helpful.

I am looking for details of how to determine what sizes to set the header, footer and margins in page layout. Not "how" to set them but how to determine the sizes to meet my needs. And I am also unsure about the page layout markings when headers and footers open and close. Maybe these are all separate issues but they appear to me to be linked. It's not clear in most videos what the display is showing. Although your presentations are about the clearest I have ever experienced. However, this aspect of Word seems to have been missed by most presenters.
Thank you

QUESTION: I am binding a landscape document on the short side. How do I insert mirror margins on the short side of a document? Thank you. Your videos have been so helpful to me in this project!
@erinwrightwriting
11 ай бұрын
Great question! When you are binding a physical document, you will want to add mirror gutters (which Word confusingly also refers to as margins). To do so, select Layout > Margins > Custom margins > "Mirror margins" in the Multiple Page menu > enter your gutter depth in the Gutter text box > OK. Of course, please do a test run on a few pages before printing a long document. I wish you all the best with your project!
