The Right Margin
The right margin reflects how you face the future and your need to reach your goals and objectives. Right margins don’t come under the same scrutiny as left margins because it is perfectly normal for a right margin to be somewhat irregular. If a writer does have a perfectly aligned right margin, watch out! This is a person who may have some real emotional issues!
The right margin also reflects your feelings and attitudes toward your father.

Spacing
After margins, there are three more spatial factors to consider: the space between the lines, the space between the words, and the space between letters in a word.
