When opening Word 2007, a blank 8 ½ x 11” page automatically opens. I
prefer to have my margins set at half an inch on all sides. To achieve
this, you will need to reset your margins to .5” (half an inch) for the top,
bottom, left and right margins. To do this, click on the Page
Layout tab.
After clicking the Page Layout tab, a menu
opens. In the second frame of this menu, you will see Margins.
Click on Margins.
When you click on Margins a new window opens.
Scroll down and click Custom Margins…
After clicking Custom Margins… a new window opens. In that
window, set the margins to .5” for top, bottom, left, and right.
Gutter should remain 0”. Then click OK.
After you complete this process, the custom setting is saved and will appear
in the dropdown menu under Margins. The next time you
create a scrapbook, select this custom setting, now saved in the dropdown
menu.
