Student answers will vary. When choosing the margins for a document, you must consider how the document may be bound. If the document will be placed in a three-ring binder, for example, you would need to leave extra space on the left margin for the holes. The orientation of a page should depend on the information that will be displayed on that page. For example, if you are creating a table that is wider than it is tall, you would want to select Landscape as the page’s orientation. The paper size that is set for a document should match the amount and type of content included in the document. If you are creating a legal document, you would need to ensure that the paper size is set to Legal so that all of the information will appear on the correct page(s).
