how to set margin in inch

[Guest]

the margins are now set in terms of points not in inch. How can I change the
margin to let say 1"?

Tools | Options and general tab. Set measurement unit for inches (near the
bottom of the dialog box).

In Word, click on Tools | Options | General | Measurement units:
<choose your preferred unit of measure> | OK. If Word won't let
you change the setting there, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299339 "You cannot change
ruler measurement unit from character units after upgrade to
Office XP" or http://www.gmayor.com/Character_Units.htm .

Left & right margins are set to 1.25" but the when I print the right side is
too wide. Does it have to do with the gutter?

More likely your document contains markup (Tracked Changes or comments), and
Word is allowing margin space for the "balloons."
