Specifying page margins

Margins act as an outline or border for your Corel WordPerfect for Java documents, allowing you to control the placement of the text and objects on your page. You can set the margins for your documents using the ruler or the Margins dialog box (available from the Format menu). Whatever method you choose, the values that you specify for the top, bottom, left, and right margins apply to all pages in your active WordPerfect for Java documents.

For additional control over the arrangement of the text and objects in your Corel WordPerfect for Java documents, you can specify unique margin settings for selected paragraphs. Paragraph margins affect the current paragraph and all subsequent text until you change your margin settings again. Paragraph adjustments must be made using the Paragraph Format dialog box.
