Microsoft Word: No Top Margin

When working with Microsoft Word, users may encounter issues with top margins, particularly when trying to fit multiple lines of text onto a page. In this scenario, the bottom line (45) will be 8.8 inches from the top margin, while the bottom line (46) will be 8.7 inches away. This can make it challenging to get the last line of type closer to the margin.

To address this issue, one possible solution is to change the bottom margin to 0.98 inches. However, this may not provide sufficient space for Word to fit another whole line, leaving a large gap between the type baseline and the bottom margin.

Another approach is to consider the distance from the top edge of the paper (or top margin) to the type baseline, which may be larger than anticipated. In this case, both TRN12 single-spaced documents with no paragraph spacing fit 46 lines between the margins, with the last line being 9.6 inches from the top edge or 8.6 inches from the top margin.

By understanding these limitations and taking steps to adjust margins and line spacing, users can better manage their page layout in Microsoft Word and achieve the desired output.
