Margins aren't only for documents

Margins are areas of space outside the main text. You can set and change left, right, top, and bottom margins. Documents, headers, footers, and table cells can all have their own margins.

Margins determine the amount of space available for main text. If you increase the size of any margin, less space is available for the main document text on each page, or in the header, footer, table or table cell. If you decrease the size of the margins, more space is available for the main text.

If some text does not print, the text is in an unprintable area for the selected printer. You can modify the margins and then reprint the document.
