The ability to do directly control margin sizes in generated Word documents is not available in MATLAB and Simulink Report Generator.

When using the MATLAB Report Generator to create Word documents, there is no simple interface that allows you to choose the margins of the document being creating. The XML report format has stylesheets (e.g., Standard Print, Compact Print) with different default margin settings for each.

As a workaround, you can add your own stylesheet with the appropriate modifications for values such as margin sizes. In order to create your own stylesheet, please look at the examples in the document located as follows, where $MATLAB stands for your root MATLAB directory.

$MATLAB\toolbox\rptgen\rptgen\rptstylesheets.xml

(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory on your machine, as returned by typing

matlabroot

at the MATLAB command prompt.)

You can add your stylesheets here. PLEASE NOTE: This workaround is not fully tested, and is therefore not officially supported by MathWorks.
