title: "Change Margins"
---

```

Change Margins option allows to decrease/increase page margins in the exported report.

Usage: CHANGE_MARGINS="L; R; T; B", where L is left, R is right, T is top, B is bottom margins. Positive values will increase, and negative values will decrease the corresponding margin. The units are the same as for the `PAGE_MARGINS` option. It is most convenient to specify values in points (pt), as Word is using those units. If the value is not specified (empty) - the corresponding margin is not changed. Valid values are in the range (-36pt ... +36pt).

```
