Set document margins in Pages on Mac
If you’re working in a word processing document, you can set the top, bottom, left and right document margins. In a page layout document, you set margins for headers and footers. Your settings apply to the whole document. To set margins for individual paragraphs, see Set paragraph margins.
Set document margins for a word processing document
Click
in the toolbar, then click the Document tab at the top of the sidebar.
In the Document Margins section, click the arrows or enter values in the fields next to Top, Bottom, Left and Right.
For documents that use facing pages, the document margins are Top, Bottom, Inside and Outside. The inside margin is the side of any page that goes into the binding. The outside margin is the outside edge of each page.
To learn how to set margins for headers and footers, see Add and remove headers and footers.
