How to change the MARGINS for a document

There are a number of different methods for changing the margins in
Frame 5.  Here are two:

1) Go to the Format menu and choose "Page Layout->Column Layout".
   This will bring up a popup window.  In the window, move to the
   "Column Margins" section, and set the Top, Bottom, Left or Right
   margins to your preferred size.  Then click on "Update Entire Flow"
   to make your changes take effect for all your pages.

2) Select the text column for which you wish to change the margin
   (Ctrl-click).  You will notice that the select box has small black
   squares all around it.  To move the edge of the column move the
   mouse over one of these black boxes.  The mouse pointer will change
   to an arrow pointing in the direction of the edge. Click the left
   button and slide the edge until you have it at the desired side.
   For accuracy there is a reference line that moves along the top of
   the ruler.

   If you do this to a single body page, it will change the margins on
   that body page.  If you do this to a master page, it will change
   the margins on all the pages associated with that master page.
