Margins

The margin is the area between the main content of the page and the page edges (or spread and spread edges). Margins (hidden by default) are indicated by a blue solid line, but this colour can be changed.

Default margin (A) in relation to page edge (B).

Page margins give an indication of the extent of the page that will be printed when using a desktop printer. Design elements positioned outside the margins may not be printed.

In the Margins section, enable Margins.
Set the Left, Right, Top and Bottom margins.

To hide/show margins:

To change the margin colour:
