To edit styles, choose the 'Edit Styles' item on the 'File' menu card. 
This will bring up a lookz window.  The bad news is that I don't believe
there is a facility for setting the top and bottom margins.  

The good news is that you can embed raw troff at any location in the
document.  Just type in the troff code, select that code and choose the
'FormatNote' item on the 'Region' menu card.  

The troff will take affect when the document is printed.

The package $ANDREWDIR/lib/tmac/tmac.atk defines several options
suitable for adjusting printed output layout.  For instance, the
initialization routine defines:

.nr PS \n(.p	\" pointsize
.nr VS \n(.v	\" linespacing
.nr HM 1i	\" header margin
.nr FM 1i	\" footer margin
.nr LL \n(.l	\" line length
.nr IN 36p	\" indent to allow outdenting headers
.nr LT \n(.l-\n(INu	\" title length

All of these can be adjusted with formatnotes in your document.
For instance, to set the top margin, put a line

.nr HM 1.5i

and mark it with the FormatNote style.
You can also copy tmac.atk and modify it.  To use the modified
version, add to your ~/preferences file a line like:

*.tmacfile: pathname/tmac.atk

substituting for <pathname> the path to your copy of tmac.atk.

Have fun,
Fred Hansen
