Introduction to Margin Adjustment in WPS
Adjusting margins in WPS is a fundamental task that can greatly impact the readability and appearance of your documents. Margins define the space between the text and the edge of the page, and proper margin settings can enhance the overall layout of your document. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adjusting margins in WPS to suit your specific needs.
Understanding Margins in WPS
Before diving into the adjustment process, it's important to understand the different types of margins in WPS:
1. Top Margin: The space from the top edge of the page to the top of the text.
2. Bottom Margin: The space from the bottom edge of the page to the bottom of the text.
3. Left Margin: The space from the left edge of the page to the left edge of the text.
4. Right Margin: The space from the right edge of the page to the right edge of the text.
Each margin can be adjusted independently to achieve the desired layout.
