Answer #1

. I am certain that if it says 1.25 it will be 1.25 inches. . My reasoning: . (a) it is a default left & right margin size on MS Word wordprocessor etc; . (b) you are studying in the USA, and they conventionally quote such …..dimensions in inches rather than centimetres; . (c) 1.25 cm margins would be much smaller than commonly found on …..academic papers ( whereas 1 inch and 1.25 inch are both common ). . (d) 1.25 cm margins would not even give enough margin width to allow …..hole-punching for use in ring-binders, and would be perilously close to the minimum workable margin for common plastic or wire binding systems; . (e) 1.25 inch margins allow adequate room for guillotining during …..professional leather / cloth & board binding into book form as often …..required for final presentation of theses and similar scholarly works. .

Answer #2

yeah, thanks i thought so too. just needed assurance my ms word doesn’t have inches so i converted 1.25 to cm and set the margins to 3.18 cm.

Answer #3

Yeah - I’m sure that will be fine. I think you will find that on opening a new blank file in your wordprocessor, when you go to “page set-up” the left and right margins default to 3.17 cm ….. 3.17 and 3.18 cm are both approximately 1.25 inches accurate to ± 0.05mm.

Answer #4

1.25 inches is the standard.
