To change margins using the rulers:
1) The shaded sections of the rulers are the margins (see Figure 112). Put the
mouse cursor over the line between the gray and white sections. The pointer
turns into a double-headed arrow.
2) Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to move the margin.
Tip
The small arrows on the ruler are used for indenting paragraphs. They
are often in the same place as the page margins, so you need to be
careful to move the margin marker, not the arrows. Place the mouse
pointer between the arrows and, when the pointer turns into a double-
headed arrow, you can move the margin (the indent arrows will move
with it).
To change margins using the Page Style dialog box (Figure 109):
1) Right-click anywhere on the page and select Page from the pop-up menu.
2) On the Page page of the dialog box, type the required distances in the Margins
boxes.
Using columns to define the page layout
You can use columns for page layout in these ways:
• Define the number of columns and their layout on a page, using page styles.
• Change the number of columns for existing text.
Defining the columns on a page
It is a good idea to define your basic page style (such as Default) with the most
common layout to be used in your document, either single-column or multiple-
column. You can then either define extra page styles for pages with different numbers
of columns or use sections (described in “Using sections for page layout” starting on
page 122) for pages or parts of pages with different numbers of columns.
To define the number of columns on a page:
1) Choose Format > Columns or go to the Columns page of the Page Style
dialog box,
