There are a few other factors to consider but the best advice we have given our customers is to have a look at other books which are like yours and simply measure the margins. The margin size you will want will depend on a few different factors Microsoft Word – Page MarginĪs standard Word will set the margins to 1″ / 2.54cm. The paper source we will leave as default for now.Īfter we have filled out the height of 19.8 cm’s and the width of 12.9 cm’s and selected to apply to the whole document, it is time to move on to the next part, the margins. You will need to check if your document is in mm’s, cm’s, inches etc. As my word document measurements are in cm’s we will fill this out accordingly. In our case, we want a book 198mm high x 129mm wide. Under paper size, you want to click the drop-down box and select custom size and then fill out the width and height of the finished paper size you want. This will bring up another window where we can input our own custom size. To change the page size, we go to Layout > Size > More Paper Sizes… If you are struggling to find a page size that you think is suitable for your book, then head over to our other post for more information – Hardback and Paperback Book Sizes. Today we will format a B-Format book at 198mm high x 129mm wide. There are plenty of sizes to choose from and it is something that will need a lot of thinking.
