Question

I want the page ruler. What can I do?

To get the ruler, go into the View tab (Word 2010 and newer) and select the Ruler checkbox.
Question

Can I ever allow one more letter on a line to finish a long word rather than wrap to the next line?

No. The only thing you could possibly do would be to make all the margins wider. Making only one word go to the next line is impossible unless you do the same for all words.

Change the margins of a document in Word and even set a default margin as per your preference for all documents you create in word using these simple instructions.

Mar 13, 2021
• 3 min read

Margins are the empty spaces between the content of a page and its edge. By default, the Word documents come with 2.54 cm or 1-inch margins.

You can change the default margin according to your need. You can select any of the preset margins or set a margin with custom values.

Change Margins in Word

To get started, open a Word document on your desktop application or on the cloud. Then, click on the ‘Layout’ tab in the main menu.

Selecting the ‘Layout’ tab will open ‘Page Setup’ options like Margins, Orientation, etc. Click on ‘Margins’ to see predefined margins in the drop-down menu. You can select any of them if they suit your need.

If you don’t find the margins you need, you can set custom margins by entering your own values. To set custom margins, click on ‘Margins’ and then click on ‘Custom Margins…’ at the bottom of the drop-down menu.

It will open the ‘Page Setup’ dialog box with default values (2.54 cm) as page margins. Change them as per your need and click on the ‘OK’ button.

The ‘Gutter’ value in the margins represent the space which is unusable as it goes under binding after the documents are printed. If you need to change ‘Gutter’ value and ‘Gutter position’, you can enter desired value and position.

The page margins will now change according to the values you entered.

How to Set Custom Margins as Default

If you are facing a situation where you need to change page margins for every document you create, you can simply make those custom page margins as default and save time and effort.

Note: You can set custom margins as default only on the Desktop application. You will not find such an option in the cloud document.

The process of setting custom margins as default is similar to changing page margins until you enter the new values in the Page Setup dialog box. Open Word on your PC → Select the ‘Layout’ tab → Click on ‘Custom Margins…’ → Enter your custom values.

After entering the custom values, instead of clicking ‘OK’, Click on ‘Set As Default’.

You will see a warning regarding the change of default margins. Click on the ‘Yes’ button.

When you open Word document, you will see the margins with the values you set as default.

Not all documents fit inside Word’s default one-inch margin between the text and the edge of the page. To change the margins in your Word documents, use one of several choices, from predefined margins that make it easy to apply a different size margin, to the customized margins adjustable to fit your needs.

These directions work with all currently supported desktop versions of Word and Word for Mac, while Word Online offers limited margin capabilities.

Quickly Change Margins in Word

To make the margins in your document smaller or larger, use Word’s Narrow, Moderate, or Wide margins. To print your document on both sides of the paper and put it in a three-ring binder, use the Mirror margin setting.

Mirror margins cannot be set in Word Online. However, if you view a document with mirror margins in Word Online, the mirror margins are preserved.

To apply a predefined margin, select Layout > Margins and choose the predefined margin you want to use.

In Word Online, Word 2010 and Word 2007, the Layout tab is labeled as Page Layout. The steps to change margins remain the same.

Use the Ruler to Adjust Margins in Word

The horizontal ruler displayed below the Word menu provides another way to change the margins in your document.

Before you begin, display the ruler. If the ruler is not displayed above your document, select View and place a checkmark next to Ruler to display the ruler. You’ll also need to work in Print view. Select View > Print Layout to display the document in print view.

The ruler is not available in Word Online.

Here’s how to change the margins using the ruler:

Change the left margin: Place the cursor over the left indents until it changes to a double-headed arrow. Drag the margin to the right to make it wider or to the left to make it narrower.
Change the right margin: Place the cursor over the right indent until it changes to a double-headed arrow. Drag the margin to the left to make it wider or to the right to make it narrower.

Create Custom Margins

When you need a certain size margin for a document, use the custom settings.

Here’s how to set a custom margin size:

Select Layout > Margins > Custom Margins.
Change the size for the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margins.
Select Set As Default to set the new margin settings as the default for the current template. This margin setting will be used in each new document you create based on that template. This feature is not available in Word Online.
Select OK when you’re finished.

Create Gutter Margins

Documents that will be bound need extra margin space for the binding. This gutter margin ensures the binding doesn’t interfere with the white space around the text.

To add a gutter margin, select Layout > Margins > Custom Margins and type a width in the Gutter box.

You cannot create gutter margins in Word Online. Switch to the desktop version of Word to set gutter margins.

Create Mirror Margins

Documents printed on both sides of the page and bound, such as books and magazines, use a special margin setting. These mirror margins ensure the right and left pages are mirror images of each other.

To create mirror margins, select Layout > Margins and select Mirrored. To change the size of the mirror margins, select Layout > Margins > Custom Margins and change the size of the Inside or Outside margins.

Set Margins for a Section of Your Document

When your document is divided into sections, you can apply different margin sizes to different sections. This feature is not available in Word Online.

To change the margins for a single section:

Select the section in the document where you want a different margin size.
Select Layout > Margins > Custom Margins.
Type new values for the Top, Bottom, Right, and Left margins.
From the Apply to list, select This Section.
Select OK when you’re done.

View Page Margins

Word can display boundary lines that show you where the margins are in your document. These boundary lines appear as dotted lines. The margin boundaries cannot be viewed in Word Online.

To view the page margins:

Select File > Options. In Word 2007, select the Microsoft Office button and select Word Options.
Select Advanced.
Scroll down to the Show document content section and select Show text boundaries.
Select OK.
