  • Click on File
  • Click on Page Setup
  • Click the Margins tab.
  • Click Portrait or Landscape.
  • In the Apply to box, click Selected text.
  • Click Ok
Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text with the new margin settings. Your document will be set up like this:
