- I have a general question that I am unable to find the answer to in the
- manual.
-
- How does a person reset the margins once editing has begun on a document?
-
- Here is the situation. I choose "NEW" from the framemaker popup menu.
- FrameMaker then displays a window, asking me for the template I wish to use.
- I select "Custom Document". I am then given several options to set, such as
- top-margin, left-margin, and so forth. I then click "OK", and my brand
- spanking new empty document is displayed for me.
-
- So far so good.
-
- After I type in the letter I am composing, I find that it consumes the entire
- first page and 7 line on a second page. So, I go through the usual changing
- of the leading and clipping where I can, but I still can't get those last 2
- lines on the first page.
-
- What I would like to do is change the top and/or bottom margin to 1/2 inch
- instead of the 1 inch it defaulted to originally. It seems to me that it
- must be possible. It seems like such an elementary thing to do, but alas
- I am too simple to figure it out.
-
- Anyone have the answer?
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
