Briefly explain how a document’s page layout can contribute to the overall success (or failure) of the document. Be sure to discuss margins, page orientation, and paper size.

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).
