Margins in Microsoft Word

Margins are the blank areas of space around the edge of your Word document where letters(alphabets or numbers) don't fall into when typing. Example of Margin can be explained better using the WAEC ANSWER SCRIPT ( If you have written the WEST AFRICAN EXAMINATION WAEC, you'll notice that some broken line are located close to the edge of your script and the sentence "do no write on the Margin" is written on it.That space where you are not expected to write on is called the Margin. (See image below)

Although text and other objects are usually inserted into the printable area within the margins, some items can actually be positioned in the margins (for example, page numbers, headers and footers.).
