Let's take Jacci's sample and make margins the way she suggested (Setting Margins...). That example took two facing pages so we will do the same. Make sure that Facing Pages in your New Document window is checked.
- Let's make the inside margin 12 mm (or 0.5 inches).
- The outside margin is supposed to be double the inside margin. So we will type 24 mm (or 1 inch) in the outside margin.
- The inside margin is also supposed to be 1/3 of the bottom margin. So we type 36 mm (or about 1.5 inches) in the bottom margin.
- The top margin is 1/2 of the bottom margin, so we type 18 mm (or 0.75 inches) in the top margin.
Et voilat! You have just set up your perfect margins. Don't forget to press OK when you have finished.
What if I find myself using the same set of margins regularly? You just open a new document and once you have set up your margins, go to Save Preset. Name your new preset, press OK and you have now recorded all of your settings into a new preset which will be available in future when you open a new document. If you want to use that preset again, you just need to select it from the Document Preset drop down menu which is located at the top of the New Document window.
