Setting up Page Margins as 1.5

To set up page margins as 1.5, you can follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open the Document
Open the document that you want to set the page margins for. This can be a new document or an existing one that you have already been working on.

Step 2: Access Page Setup
To access the page setup options, go to the "Page Layout" tab at the top of the screen. Click on this tab to open the page layout options.

Step 3: Open Margins Menu
Within the page layout options, locate the "Margins" menu. This menu allows you to adjust the margins of the document.

Step 4: Select Custom Margins
Click on the small arrow icon next to the "Margins" menu to open a dropdown list of preset margin options. From this list, select "Custom Margins" at the bottom.

Step 5: Adjust Margin Values
A dialog box will appear with various margin options. In this dialog box, you can set the specific margin values you desire.

Step 6: Set Margin Units
Ensure that the units for the margins are set to inches. This is the default unit of measurement for margins in most word processing software.

Step 7: Set Top, Bottom, Left, and Right Margins
In the margin dialog box, locate the input fields for top, bottom, left, and right margins. Enter the value "1.5" in each of these fields to set the margins to 1.5 inches.

Step 8: Apply Changes
After setting the margin values, click the "OK" button to apply the changes to the document. The margins will now be set to 1.5 inches on all sides of the page.

Step 9: Check Margin Settings
To ensure that the margin settings have been applied correctly, you can visually check the margins of the document. You can also go back to the page setup options and verify that the margin values are still set to 1.5 inches.

By following these steps, you can easily set up page margins as 1.5 inches in your document. Remember to save your document after making any changes to ensure that the margin settings are retained for future use.
