Change Margin in MS Word 2008 Mac OS
Posted by tech on

The good thing about previous versions of Microsoft Office in Windows was that they kept their UI design
intact until version 2004.I think version 2007′s design was a complete disaster. You’re given a whole new UI to use in all MS Office applications.
I think that its UI design made it even resource intensive compared to previous versions of it. I used to love this software suite because even when new versions came out, the UI functionalities were still the same, icons, menu items and all. MS Word in Mac OS is not totally identical as in the Windows version.
Changing the margins of your document, you would just go to page setup under the FILE menu. In the Mac OS version for Office 2008, it’s non-existent in the MS Word application. I had to look at all the menu items to see where changing the margins could be done.
To change the margin, go to the FORMAT menu, then choose DOCUMENT. The margin configuration is there.

Wasn’t there a way to do this from the top ruler as well?

hi J, yes the ruler works but there is no way to set a fixed value. you’d have to do an estimate on that.

Thanks for this-I hate this new version of MS; I can always have to search for long periods of time before I can figure out how to do even the most basic things (I was very proficient with the earlier versions of MS office)
