Layout settings are the same in two different documents, but looks different

[Xavier]

I've been working on some different documents, but I want the layout to be the same in all of them.

I've tried copying the layout settings, and checked in the Paragraph settings, but everything looks the same.

Despite this the documents still look very different (it looks further away from the border in the one I don't want).

If I copy the text from the document I want to keep the layout for into a new Word Doc, it suddenly appears with the layout I don't want.

What am I overlooking?

I can see that while my Layout settings were the same, my Margin settings were not.

I've changed those to be the same, and now the docs look the same too.

It would be helpful if you had the ruler showing. Have you checked the page setup?
