Page margin and header

[Kathy Knecht]

Hello,

It appears that some sort of global setting is in place (that I never set
up) that is messing up my margins. When I set a one inch margin all around a
page, the margins show us much less than one inch. So to try and fix this, I
set the margins as .3", which turns out closer to one inch, but then the
header in the right corner is too far to the right and I don't know how to
move it to the left. Please help. I have Word 2008 for Mac, version 12.

Hi Kathy;

I'm not clear on the situation you're describing. Exactly where do "the
margins show us much less than one inch"? What View are you working in?

Although I understand how changing the margins to .3" would cause the
Header/Footer content to go closer to the edge of the page I can't see how
reducing the margins by more than 2/3 can result in a wider margin that
"turns out closer to one inch". If you can provide a clearer picture it
shouldn't be much of a problem to resolve.

Also, please indicate your exact update level of both Office & OS X.
