Use the STYLE MARGIN command to change any of the four margin
settings on a page.
The top margin indicates the space between the edge of the paper and the
first line on the page; the bottom margin is the space from the last line on
the page to the bottom of the paper. If your document contains headers and
footers, the top and bottom margin settings tell TFORM how much space to
leave before the first header line and after the last footer line.
Note Headers and footers can have different margins from the text. For information on using
headers and footers, see Section 10, “Adding Headers and Footers.”
The STYLE MARGIN command includes which margin you want to change
and the new margin size. You can set each margin independently.
Entering Values for
Margins
In most cases, you measure margins in inches. Just as in the STYLE FORM
command, if you enter values without any measurement unit, TFORM
assumes you mean inches. For example, to create top and bottom margins
of two inches, and to create right and left margins of one inch, enter these
commands:
\STYLE MARGIN TOP 2 INCHES
\STYLE MARGIN BOTTOM 2
\STYLE MARGIN RIGHT 1
\STYLE MARGIN LEFT 1
