      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.

      To Open the Page Setup Dialog Box:

      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.
