= SUMMARY =

Changes made to document margins in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh’s print preview affect the entire document, not just the page currently being edited. This is because the changes made to a margin in print preview update the margin settings in the Document dialog box (on the Format menu).

Changes made to header, footer, or page number placement affect only the first section of the page that is currently being viewed. If there is only one section in the document, any change to the header, footer, or page number placement affects the whole document.

Note: The Undo command is not available while in print preview and appears as an unavailable Can’t Undo on the Edit menu after you exit print preview. Changes made in Print Preview can not be undone using the Undo Command on the Edit menu. If you think you will need to use the Undo command when editing the headers and footers, perform this editing manually in a different view of the document. Another alternative is to save the document first before editing the headers or footers so you can restore the document to its original state, if necessary, by closing it without saving the changes.
