I'm currently setting a template document for a client, which they will fill out each time and save as a PDF to email round to staff. I'm having issues getting the elements of the document centred so that they print with an equal border the whole way round. It seems to align it to the right slightly leaving a larger border on the left side. The images are all centred in accordance with the page - not sure what else I can do?!

Hi Sophie

If you are printing the page or just previewing it you may find this alignment issue due to the way that printers print. To overcome the issue, you need to change the page settings. To do this go to file > page setup > margins and then change the page margins.

Hope this helps

Word tip:

Making the first letter of a document bigger (drop caps)

Making the first letter of a document bigger than the other text around it gives a document a more 'story-book' look.

To achieve this effect:

1. Click to the left of the first word in the document.

2. Go to Format - Drop Cap.

3. Choose the Dropped option (middle of the three options at the top of the Drop Cap dialogue box).

4. Choose the font for the dropped cap and select how many lines it should 'drop down' in the paragraph (effectively, the height of the letter in lines).

5. If you would like to create a gap between the dropped cap and the text around it, use the Distance from Text option to achieve this.

6. Click OK.

To make adjustments to the dropped cap, simply click inside the frame that appears around the letter, and go to Format - Drop Cap again.
