You can also click the Margins item, and
then Custom Margins from the menu that appears:
The Margins dialogue box will appear, and look
like this:
The values to set are these:
Top: 2.5 cm
(1 inch)
Bottom: 2.5 cm
Left: 3.5 cm (1.38 inches)
Right: 3.0 cm (1.18 inches)
Apply to: Whole Document
When you're done, click OK. You will be returned to your
blank page with the new margins set.
We're going to set up a Tab Stop for the first line of each
paragraph. We can then indent by pressing the Tab key on the keyboard. To set
a Tab stop, do the following:
This will bring up the Indents and Spacing
dialogue box, which you've met before. (You brought up this dialogue box from
the Paragraph panel on the Home ribbon, previously. But it's the same one.)
Click the Tabs button in the bottom left
to bring up the Tabs dialogue box:
We're going to change the Default tab stop. A
default is a number that is built into the program. If you look at the top
right of the Tabs dialogue box you'll see the figure of 1.27 cm for the
"Default tab stops" (or the equivalent in inches). This default number will be
the same for everybody with the same version of Microsoft Word. You can, of
course, change it. But what you are changing here is the size of the jump that
the cursor makes when you press the Tab key on your keyboard. So with the
cursor blinking on the first line, when you press the tab key, your cursor
will jump 1.27 centimeters.
