Which brings us immediately to our first question: Perhaps teachers can check the Word files to make sure font sizes and margins are correct.While Word’s standard one-inch margins are great for many writing applications, they are not usually the best choice for book printing projects since you will need to use mirror margins. My suggestion is to live with what Word has to offer. Word does not make it easy to spec type and compose pages that way.

I know that the standards for academic paper preparation are based on what was done on a typewriter. Anything else, and the last line will be farther away from tne bottom margin. Space or exact multiples of the line space. If you allow different font sizes for headings or allow figures and tables, and such, these potential fixes are worthless because they depend on everything being a line None of these is a good thing to do if your students must make these adjustments. The bottom line (45) will be at 8.8' from the top margin. You could also leave the margin at 1' and set the line spacing to exact at 14.4 pt. The bottom line (46) will be at 8.7' from the top margin. Leave the margin at 1' and set the line spacing to exact at 14.05 pt. Line 47 will fit on the page at 8.8' from the top margin and should print fully above the 1'margin line. I have two suggestions for getting the last line of type closer to the margin that you might want to try.Ĭhange the bottom margin to 0.98'. So, I can't tell how much space is really left.)

Or to the bottom of the typing line which includes the leading. ( I don't know whether the distance from the top edge is to the type baseline, the bottom of the font height, But that's apparently not enough room for Word to fit another whole line. Is fairly large room from the type baseline to the bottom margin. Both fit 46 lines between the margins, and the last line was 9.6' from the top edge of the paper (or 8.6' from the top margin). Both in TRN12, single spacing, and no paragraph spacing.
