Margins are the blank spaces around the edges of a printed page. They can be adjusted to fit your needs, such as the size of your worksheet or the printer you are using.
Default margins
Predefined normal margins sizes are 0.75” top and bottom, 0.7” left and right and 0.3 for a header and a footer.
Wide margins sizes are 1”, 1” and 0.5” accordingly.
There are 0.75”, 0.25” and 0.3” for Narrow margins.
