To specify page margins
Page margins let you control how the contents of a web page are offset in browser windows. The margin width
specifies the space between the page's content and the left edge of the browser window, and the margin height
specifies the space between the page's content and the top edge of the browser window.
Choose Special > Page Properties to open the Page Inspector.

In the Page Inspector, click the Page tab and enter values in pixels in the Margin Width and Margin Height text

boxes.
To remove the automatic margin offset, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in the page and choose

Document > Set Page Margins To Zero from the menu that appears.
Setting view options for page layout
To ensure that page layouts reflect what your viewing audience will see, you can configure the Layout Editor to
preview different browsers and devices, and to show or hide screen elements. For example, you can specify an
Internet Explorer profile if most of your viewers use Windows, or specify a Nokia or NTT DoCoMo profile for a
mobile audience. Changing basic profiles doesn't change source code; rather, it simply provides an accurate preview.
You can freely switch from one profile to another as you develop a page.
View options are particularly powerful when combined with the @media rule and media type option for stylesheets.
If you've created different styles for media types such as screen and handheld, you can preview each of them by using
the Target Media option.
