control margin size knitr when producing word document

I would like to reduce the margin size in word documents produced by knitr.

I have tried two approaches in the YAML header:

title: mytitle
author: me
geometry: margin=1cm
output: word_document

and also by manually altering the margin in the docx and saving as a template:

title: mytitle
author: me
output: word_document
reference_docx: template.docx

neither approaches have even slightly altered the margin.

What am I doing wrong?

yaml seems to be finicky about formatting to explicitly show hierarchies of options. This worked when I tested it on my computer and is documented here:

---
title: mytitle
author: me
output: 
  word_document:
    reference_docx: template.docx
---
