Everything else is the same as shown above. However, in this case, there was no line signifying a section break or page break when the formatting was revealed. Normally, if you click on the show paragraphs button (), you can see a page break or section break. You can enter your custom margins and then click on the Default button. Recently, I received a panicked email from my step-mom wondering why a page break could not be removed from Microsoft Word. To set default margins in Word 2003, select Page Setup from the File menu. Click OK to accept the different values, rather than clicking on the Default (or Set As Default) button. You can also select Custom Margins from the drop-down menu on the Margins button and enter the desired custom values in the Margins section on the Page Setup dialog box. If you need to temporarily change the margins to values other than the default values for a specific document in Word, click the Page Layout tab and select a set of predefined margin values from the drop-down menu. NOTE: When you click Yes on confirmation dialog box, the Page Setup dialog box is also closed. NOTE: In Word 2010 and later, the Default button is called Set As Default.Ī confirmation dialog box displays making sure you want to change the default settings for Page Setup.
Enter the margins you want to use as the default margins in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right edit boxes in the Margins section.
