Question 1

How do I change the left and right margins using the horizontal ruler?

Accepted Answer

Open your document in the QuoteCloud editor and locate the horizontal ruler at the top of the page. Click and drag the left or right margin marker (the shaded edge or small triangle/handle) inward or outward to expand or reduce the available page width. The editor applies the change immediately so you can see content reflow in real time.Use the ruler for quick visual tweaks when you want immediate feedback while editing sales quotes or proposals in your sales quoting software.

Question 2

How do I set precise numeric left and right margins?

Accepted Answer

Open Page Settings (sometimes labelled Page Setup) in the document editor and enter exact numeric values for the left and right margins using the units shown (for example, inches or millimetres). Page Settings provides reproducible, exact measurements ideal for consistent branding across quotes and proposals.If you need to reuse those exact margins later, save the document as a template or update your default template so new documents in your sales proposal software start with the same values.

Question 3

What’s the difference between using the ruler and using Page Settings?

Accepted Answer

The ruler is fast and visual: drag margin handles to see instant layout changes and judge spacing by eye. Page Settings is for precision: enter numeric values for reproducible margins and consistent results across documents or templates.Use the ruler for quick layout adjustments while building a quote, and use Page Settings when preparing templates or when exact measurements are required for professional proposal software output.

Question 4

Will changing margins affect headers, footers, or existing content formatting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Changing left or right margins alters the document body width and will usually cause text, tables, and inline content to reflow. Headers and footers that inherit document margins will typically update to match the new page width.Anchored objects (images, tables, or positioned elements) may need manual repositioning or resizing after margin changes. Always review affected pages after adjusting margins in your quote software to ensure layout and page breaks remain correct.

Question 5

Can I apply margin changes to only part of a document (a single section) or only to new pages?

Accepted Answer

There are two common approaches: apply margin changes document-wide, or set them for future pages/templates. If your document editor supports sections, add a section break and adjust Page Settings for that section so only that section uses the new margins. If sections aren’t used, margin changes usually apply to the entire document.To make margin changes affect only new documents or pages, update your template or default document settings so new quotes and proposals in your proposal software open with those margins.

Question 6

How do I save margin settings so every proposal or quote uses them?

Accepted Answer

After setting margins in Page Settings, save the document as a template or update your account’s default template/settings. That ensures new documents created in QuoteCloud (your sales quoting software and sales proposal software) use the same left and right margins automatically.Saving margins in a template is the best way to keep consistent branding and formatting across all quote and proposal documents.

Question 7

What units can I use for margins and how do I change them?

Accepted Answer

Page Settings shows the units you can use (commonly inches or millimetres). Enter margin values using the displayed units to get precise results. If you prefer different units, convert your measurements (for example, inches to millimetres) before entering them, or check account/document preferences—some document editors allow switching default units in settings.Using Page Settings with explicit units is recommended for consistent output from your quote software or proposal software.

Question 8

Troubleshooting: The ruler isn’t visible or my margin change isn’t applied—what should I do?

Accepted Answer

First confirm you’re in Edit mode and that the ruler is enabled (look for a View or Layout option to toggle the ruler). If changes aren’t applying, try refreshing the editor, check that the document or template isn’t locked, and verify you have permission to edit the document.If the issue persists, export or preview the document to see final output, or contact QuoteCloud support with a screenshot and steps to reproduce the problem so they can help—this is especially important when using the application as sales quoting software or proposal software in a production workflow.
