November 25, 200817 yr MARGINS So I'm typing this paper, and it has to be a minimum of 10 pages typed and double spaced. Now there are no specifics on margins and quite frankly I'm tired of typing this stupid thing. So my question to you all is, how big would you all consider making the margins on the sides to magically increase the length of the paper?
November 25, 200817 yr I'd probably only go with a 1/2 inch margin but you're teacher will probably say something about it, lol.
November 25, 200817 yr Make the periods bigger. :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb: Works greatly. I always change my margins as well but not drastically, .2 or so on each side.
November 25, 200817 yr If you're not too worried about the grade, just make it 1/2 inch and be prepared for the teacher's comments. When I was in school none seemed to notice something small like that though. They won't deduct too many points.

November 25, 200817 yr I usuall rock either a 1'' or a 1.25''....that is usually what most teachers ask for at least.
November 25, 200817 yr Author Isn't the default setting in Microsoft work already like 1 inch? So are you guys saying to add about a half inch to that? to make it like 1.5?
November 25, 200817 yr Author I usuall rock either a 1'' or a 1.25''....that is usually what most teachers ask for at least. I'm thinking I'm going to go with the 1.25. Though I'm tempted to go even bigger. Grrrr I've spent sooooo much time on this paper. It's just stupid.
November 25, 200817 yr Another trick I used to do was add .5-1 on the font, very hard to tell but can add quite a bit too length

Hmmm I'm about to get really lazy really quick.
