If you are trying to save paper and not ink, I would recommend using columns.
I usually use 4 columns, with line be the columns and a 0.1" margin. This way I was able to shrink Masques down from 335 pages to 223, with very tiny outside margins.
The best way to find out how small a margin you can get away with is to set the left and right margins to 0" and let Word fix it.
More than 4 columns gets a little harder to read and you don't save that much paper.
For Masques
# of Columns/# of pages
1/335
2/254
3/231
4/223
5/221
After 5 columns, you start to actually loose ground!
Now, if there are poems or songs in the fic, then you should use 2 columns because most stanzas are longer than 4 column margin.
Front and back printing saves paper too.
