What Are the Units for Document Borders in MS Word?

AI Thread Summary
In Microsoft Word, document borders can be adjusted using points (pts) as the unit of measurement, with 1 inch equaling 72 points and approximately 3 points per millimeter. To set a border 10mm from the page corner, one can convert millimeters to points, using the conversion that 10mm is roughly 28 points. However, setting a left margin of 20mm poses a challenge, as the maximum margin allowed in Word is 31 points, which is insufficient for a 20mm margin. Alternative methods for achieving this margin may need to be explored, as the standard margin settings in Word do not accommodate this requirement directly.

thanks ...so is it possible to have a left margin=20mm and all the other 3 margins are 10 mm in A4 print out ...

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
