11.4.3 Changing the Margins

   

Top Margin, Bottom Margin, Left Margin, and Right Margin allow you to specify how much white space there is on each of the four sides of each page printed. You may enter these specifications in units of either inches (IN), centimeters (CM), printers points (PT), or percent (%). The margin size that you specify will automatically be converted and displayed in the entry box in standard units, which are by default set to ``inches.''

To change the margins:

  1. Select Page Options from the Options menu or Print Sheet dialog box. NExS displays the Page Options dialog box as shown in Figure 11.1.

  2. Enter the desired top/bottom/left/right margin specification(s) into the respective entry box(es).

  3. Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.


You can set the default units for page measurements to inches (IN), centimeters (CM), or printer's points (PT) using the ``pageUnits'' resource. See Appendix B, NExS Resources, for information on how to customize NExS resources.
