Changing the Margins in Word

The standard margins for a Word document are 1 inch at the top and bottom of the page and 1 ¼ inch from the left and right hand sides of the page; each new document you open in Word will have these margins. You can, of course, change the margins to suit your needs. Often times it makes more sense to squeeze an extra line or two onto a page rather than use a second sheet of paper, and if you’re working on your resume, you’ll certainly want to make changes to the margins!

If you’ve done some exploring in Word and want to alter the margins, you’ve probably tried to do so by moving the sliders on the ruler bar, and if you’re reading this, you’ve probably run into problems with that method. It is possible to change the margins using the ruler bar. You simply hold your mouse over the triangular sliders until the cursor turns into a double headed arrow; when you click, a yellow dotted line will appear in your document where the margin is.

You can then drag the margin to the right or the left, depending upon where you would like to move the margin. The problem with using the ruler bar sliders is that it is easy to change the indents and hanging indents when you intend to change the margins, as the controls are so closely placed. Further, if you change the indents instead of your margins, you’re bound to make a mess of your document.
