A diagram displaying equal margins of width 25mm on an A4 page. In typography, a margin is the area between the main content of a page and the page edges. The margin helps to define where a line of text begins and ends. When a page is justified the text is spread out to be flush with the left and right margins.
With these marks displayed, you'll have a better sense of why your document looks the way it doesâand why it doesn't look the way you want it to. Margins. Give your document some basic structure by setting the margins. The default margins on MS Word are 1 inch, which is just fine for the default 12-point text. But if your type is much smaller, you'll want larger margins to keep the page nice and readable. That way, the line length (the number of words per line) will stay comfortable for your reader. While many people tinker with font size, they forget to also adjust the margins. No matter what, don't set your margins by dragging and dropping. Do it using exact numbers in the Format menu.
