Reply To: Basic question about margins

First thing you want to do is make sure layout adjustment is checked. It’s under “layout” then “liquid layout,” then “layout adjustment.” Tick the box that says “Enable Layout Adjustment.” The default checkmarks underneath should be okay.

Then go to all your of your master pages and adjust your inside and outside margins accordingly. The text boxes and running heads should nudge over accordingly, and the text/column width will stay the same.

That’s one reason I always have a master master page. I base all the others on that and tweak accordingly. That way, I only need to change that one master when margins change.
