Margins
Standardize your margins.
Margins isolate your publication from surrounding
distractions and provide the space necessary to highlight
important information.
Once you establish margin measurements for the
top, bottom, and sides of one page, use these same mea-
surements on each page of your document.
Also, if you set up specific indents and placements
for elements such as chapter titles, page numbers, and
company logos, use these same indents on all similar
pages throughout your document.
