Modifying Page Layout

Introduction

Lesson 5 
You may find that the default page layout settings in Word are not sufficient for the document you wish to create, in which case you will want to modify those settings. For example, if you are printing on a different paper size, you'll want to change the document page size to match the paper. In addition, you may want to change the page formatting depending on the type of document you are creating.

In this lesson, you will learn how to change the page orientationpaper size, and page margins.

      The Page Setup Dialog Box

      Previously, we showed how to open the Page Setup dialog box from the Margins drop-down menu. As you become more familiar with Word, you may find that you want to use the Page Setup dialog box more often to fine-tune the page margins and adjust other settings. To get there more quickly, you may want to use a shortcut that's conveniently located on the Page Layout tab.

      1. Click the Page Layout tab.
      2. Click the small arrow in the bottom-right corner of the Page Setup group. The Page Setup dialog box will appear.
