Working with Page Margins!

Because of common printer limitations, the area where you can enter type is usually not the same as the full page size.
The distances from the page edges to the respective edges of the printable area are called the page margins.!

Since the page margin can be only as large as the maximum printable
area, the values you can enter for each margin depend on the printer
selected in the Chooser. The size and orientation of the printable area
are controlled by the Page Setup command.!

To set the page margins:!

1. Choose the Margins command from the Format menu.!

2. Enter values for the top, left, bottom, and right margins. If you want

the area where you can type to be the same as the maximum print-
able area, click the Maximum Print Area button.!

Page Guides!

The page guide is the non-printing box that defines the document area.
The page guide appears as a light blue box.!

To show or hide the page guide, choose Show Page Guides from the Show|Hide sub-menu (View menu).
