Method 1: Through Agile Inspections Template Editor

Step 1: Access Template Settings

Navigate to your account settings or report templates section.

Step 2: Select Your Template

Choose the template you want to modify.

Look for "Page Setup" or "Margins" settings:

  • Top margin
  • Bottom margin
  • Left margin
  • Right margin

Enter your desired measurements (typically in inches or centimeters).

Step 4: Save Changes

Save your template changes. New reports will use the updated margins.

Method 2: Edit in Microsoft Word

Step 1: Generate Your Report

Create your Word document as usual from Agile Inspections.

Step 2: Open in Microsoft Word

Download and open the generated Word document.

Step 3: Access Page Setup

Go to the "Layout" tab (Microsoft Word 2016+):

  • Click "Margins"
  • Select a preset (Normal, Narrow, Wide)
  • Or click "Custom Margins" for specific measurements

Set your desired margins and click "OK".

Step 5: Save the Document

Save your customized document. You can save it as your new default template.

Tips

  • Standard business margins are 1 inch on all sides
  • Narrow margins (0.5 inches) allow more content per page
  • Wide margins (1.25 inches) give more white space
  • Use consistent margins across all your reports
