To edit the top and bottom margins, you can use the ruler shown on the left-hand side of the screen. With the text highlighted, follow the same steps as above to move your margins-move the triangles on both sides of the menu bar to set the left and right-hand margins for your entire document. To start, highlight all of the text in your document (press Ctrl+A on your keyboard to quickly do this).

The first is to use the ruler below the menu bar. If you want to change the margins for your entire document, you have two options. Setting Margins for the Entire Document Using the Rulers The margins used by the paragraph should be changed, with the remainder of the document maintaining the previous margin settings. Repeat the same steps for the margin on the right. As you move it, you should see a value showing the size of the margin in inches. To change the magic, click on the triangle on the left-hand side and drag it to a new position. On the ruler, you will see two triangles that show the current margins for your document. If you can’t see this ruler, click View > Show ruler to display it. Beneath the menu bar at the top, you should see a ruler-this is used for setting the page margins. With the document, click to place your blinking cursor inside the paragraph you’re looking to edit. If you just want to change the margins for a single paragraph, you’ll need to first open your Google Docs document.

Setting Margins for Individual Paragraphs Thankfully, Google Docs makes it easy to change the margins of your document. While it’s certainly helpful for printing, it can also help to improve how your page layout looks, especially if you have a lot of text to contend with. If you’re looking to set up your Google Docs document a little differently, you may want to adjust the sizes of the page margins, whether its for a single paragraph or across your entire document.
