Other Tips for Setting up Margins

1. Click the Default button in the lower left corner to set (or reset) Word's default margins.
2. You can choose to apply these new margins to the whole document or from this point forward.
3. Gutter position
   In a document with two-sided pages, the term gutter refers to a margin setting that adds extra space to the side or top margin of a document you plan to bind. A gutter margin ensures that the binding doesn't hide text.
   The default gutter position is left. You shouldn't need to change the gutter default. In left-to-right documents, the gutters of odd-numbered pages are always on the left, and the gutters of even-numbered pages are always on the right.
4. Mirror margins. Mirror margins are used when printing bound documents.
   To change the mirror margins for part of a document:
   • Select the text.
   • In the Apply to: box, click Selected text.
   • Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text with the new margin settings.
   • If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a section or select multiple sections, and then change the margins.
