Page Margins

Note   Browsers typically have default values (usually 15 pixels) for page margins. If you are viewing the Color and Margins tab of the Page Properties dialog box while in Design view of the HTML editor, the default settings in the page margins boxes are set to 15 to reflect browser functionality. In Source view, the values are set to null. However, if you explicitly set a margin value, that value replaces the default value in either view.
