IntroIn this video, I will show you how to set up custom and mirror margins in Microsoft Word, perfect for double-sided printing with extra space for binding and notes.

I am your instructor, Richard Rost.In today's video, I am going to show you how to set up custom margins in Microsoft Word. Today's question comes from Felicity from Rochester, New York. A Silver member, she asks: I am printing an employee handbook for my company. The boss wants it printed double-sided with a large margin by the binding for notes. How can I set this up in Microsoft Word? Well, Felicity, here I have a document that I typed up in Microsoft Word. To set the margins to one of the basic presets, click on the Layout tab right here. You'll see Margins all the way to the left. Drop that down, and here is a bunch of preset margins for you. The default margin is Normal, which is a 1-inch margin all the way around the page: top, left, bottom, and right. The next option is Narrow, which gives you a 1-inch margin around the page. Margins are sometimes easier to work with if you zoom out and can see the whole page or multiple pages at once. So I am going to come down here to the bottom right corner and click on the Zoom Out button until I can see two pages. There we go. Now we can see the margins more clearly. Maybe zoom in just a little bit more. The next option is Moderate: 1-inch on the top and bottom, three-quarters of an inch left and right. Then we have Wide. That's good if you want real big wide margins around all of the edges to give yourself lots of room for notes. Now, Felicity said she was printing her handbook double-sided, and the boss wants large margins around the binding. So we're going to go to Margins and pick Mirrored. Mirrored means you are going to get a big margin on the left side of odd pages and on the right side of even pages, because when you print this double-sided, this will be on the same side of the paper. If that's not enough, you can click on Margins and come down here to Custom Margins. In here, you can specify the top, bottom, inside, outside, and gutter. The gutter is extra space for your binding. So let's say I want to go with a half an inch around the page, top, bottom, the outside margin, but the boss wants a two-inch margin where the binding is going to go. And there we go. When you print this duplex, you'll see that this right here, this side, and this side will line up. That will give you extra room in here for the binding and for notes. The key for double-sided printing is to make sure you pick Mirror Margins from this Multiple Pages menu or out here, pick Mirrored. Want to learn more about margins and Microsoft Word? There is a members only extended cut video available that covers using the gutter for printing, applying margins to only part of your document (for example, a title page or a picture page), and you might want different margins inside the document. I will also show you how to take your margins and set them as the default for any new documents you create so you do not have to keep going back in and changing the margins every time you create a new document.

SummaryToday's video from Word Learning Zone is all about setting up custom margins in Microsoft Word. This topic comes from a question sent in by a Silver member who needs to print an employee handbook double-sided, with a large margin near the binding to leave space for notes.To get started, I have a Word document open. If you want to apply one of the standard margin settings, go to the Layout tab and choose Margins. Here you'll find several presets. The default is called Normal, which gives you a one-inch margin on every side of the page. You can also select Narrow margins, which sets smaller margins all the way around. Sometimes it's easier to see and work with your margins if you zoom out so multiple pages are visible at once. I like to use the Zoom Out button in the lower right corner so I can get that overview. This makes it easier to visualize how the margins will look when printed. You can also choose Moderate margins, which keep one inch on the top and bottom, but reduce the left and right to three quarters of an inch. Then there's Wide margins, which give you much larger space all around the page, perfect for extra notes. Since the handbook needs to be printed double-sided and have more space near the binding, you should select the Mirrored option from the Margins menu. What Mirrored does is put a big margin on the left side of odd-numbered pages and on the right side of even-numbered pages, so when you print double-sided, the larger margin always sits next to the binding. If these preset sizes aren't quite right, you can select Custom Margins. Here, you have control over the top, bottom, inside, outside, and gutter measurements. The gutter is a little extra space specifically designed for bindings. For example, if you set all margins to half an inch except for the inside or gutter at two inches, you'll leave a lot of space by the binding for notes, as requested. When you print the handbook double-sided, these expanded margins will line up correctly on both sides of the paper. The essential step for double-sided documents is to choose either Mirror Margins or Mirrored from the Multiple Pages dropdown in the margins setup area. That ensures your document is laid out correctly for double-sided printing with generous space at the binding. For those who want even more detail, there is an extended cut video available exclusively to members. In it, I cover topics like printing with a gutter, using different margins for specific parts of a document, such as the title or picture pages, and how to set your custom margins as the default for new documents so you don't have to reset them each time.
