The Bite:
Um, yeah - when you're talking page margins. By reducing margins in Word documents before printing, we'll all beat off paper waste.
Does size really matter?

The Benefits:
- Paper-use reduction. The average office worker could save 475 sheets of paper per year by reducing their margins from the default setting of 1 in to 0.50 in.
- A cash endowment. The savings won't help you retire early, but an office of 100 will save about $500 on paper per year.
- Bonus enlargement? If you send this tip to your boss, who knows? You might just get a bigger year-end bonus.
Personally Speaking:
Sara's making up for all of the margins she increased on her high-school term papers to meet page length requirements by using her iPhone for basically everything - thank goodness it isn't connected to a printer.
Wanna Try:
- About.com Word Processing - step-by-step directions for changing your Word-doc margins.
- Change the Margins - click "Sign the Microsoft Petition" on the right, and ask Microsoft to make the default Word margins narrower.
