Question

which step ensures that the page margins are not too narrow?
always preview the document or print a test page first to ensure the margins are not too narrow.
zoom out of the document to ascertain how close to the edges of the document the text is.
the user does not have to ensure that margins are correct; word will warn the user if they are not.
in the page setup dialog box, ensure that margins are not set to less than 1\ for top, bottom, left, and right areas.

Explanation:

To determine the correct step for ensuring page margins are not too narrow, we analyze each option:

• The second option (Zoom out...) is not a reliable method as zooming out doesn't accurately check margin width.
• The third option is incorrect because Word does not always warn users about narrow margins.
• The fourth option (Page Setup with 1" margins) is a standard way to set margins to a minimum width, but the first option (preview or test print) is a direct way to verify that margins are not too narrow by seeing the actual layout. Previewing the document or printing a test page allows the user to visually confirm that the margins are appropriate and not too narrow.

Answer:

A. Always preview the document or print a test page first to ensure the margins are not too narrow.
