Changing the page margins

You can change the margins of individual topics using the WYSIWYG ruler. The margin settings only affect the topic displayed and override any changes in the style sheet.

To change the page margins:

  1. If you don't see the ruler, click Ruler on the View menu.

  2. Insert your cursor where you want to change the margins or select the text you want to change.

  3. Move the left and right margin markers to the desired positions on the ruler.

Notes:

  • In tables, use the ruler to apply margin settings to each cell as you move your mouse pointer through the table.

  • To specify exact margin measurements, use the Format menu - Paragraph dialog.

  • To specify a margin setting that affects a certain style, modify your style sheet.

Tip: By right-clicking on the ruler, you can toggle the Snap to tick marks option. When this option is checked, you can drag the markers on the ruler so they align (or "snap") to the tick marks on the ruler. If you want to "nudge" the markers in smaller increments, toggle the Snap to tick marks option off.
