TextEdit is intended to provide a lightweight method for manipulating and read text files. If you need to change margins, you will be better off in the long run using the FREE, included Pages app.


"Note: You can’t adjust the margins of a TextEdit document when you print it. To adjust the margins of the document when you print it, open it in Pages."
