It can be difficult to 'grab' sometimes so you may need to Zoom in to make it easier and lay off the coffee before-hand :-) If the 'ruler' isn't visible, you can make it visible from the 'View' tab - just put a check-mark next to 'Ruler'. To hide the margins again, repeat step 1. Heres how to switch it off: Point to the top or bottom of a page until the pointer becomes a double-pointed arrow, and then double-click. If your 'ruler' is visible across the top and left side of the window, 'grab' the the marker indicating where the applicable margin is and drag it to where you want it. If your document is in Print Layout view and the top and bottom margins appear to be cut off, the option for hiding margins has been switched on. You can also access 'Page Setup' from the PRINT window when you're previewing your document. 3-On the 'Margins' tab, manually change the (left) margins as necessary and make sure that 'Apply to Whole document' is selected at the bottom. 2-Open 'Page Setup' (there should be a small arrow to access these settings to the right of the words 'Page Setup'). If not, here a couple of other options (I'm working from Word 2010 but other versions should be similar):ġ-Select the 'Page Layout' tab across the top of the window. I'm not exactly sure where the problem exists but Danielle's response below should work.
