This article explains how to create page margins with the perfect proportions for books, reports, newsletters or any document. You will be able to change the margins as needed in your publication. These suggestions are based roughly on some of the formal canons of page composition in book design, such as those advocated by JA Van de Graaf and Jan Tschichold.

How to Adjust Page Margins in Microsoft Word
Although the technical procedure for changing margins differs by application, the principles for selecting appropriate margins are universal. Margins create white space, frame the content of your page, and provide room to hold the page (and take notes) without interfering with the text.
Do not use the same page margins on all pages. For best appearance, size page margins gradually from smallest to largest: inner margins, top margin, outer margin, bottom margin.
Make inner margins smaller than outer margins. When setting margins for facing pages, make the inner margin half the size of the outer margin. If the inside margins were the same, the space between the pages (gutter) of the spread of a book or newspaper would appear too large. Cutting them in half creates visually smoother left and right margins. However, this may also depend on the type of publication.
