Can anyone tell me how to have a .5" top margin on the first page and a 1"

top margin on page 2 and after?



Thanks for any help,



Huck

You can either insert a section break and format the page layouts of the

sections differently or for a document (e.g. a letter head) in which the

presence of subsequent pages depend on content set the margin at .5"

throughout and set a different first page header. In the subsequent page

headers insert a borderless text box with wrap to push the text down to

produce the appearance of a 1" top margin.

A text box isn't really required (and just adds complexity to the document).

Space After added to the Header paragraph will suffice.

I doubt you really want different margins, just different spacing. The only

way to get different margins is by using a section break. This can be

difficult to manage if you will be starting on page one and typing. You can

get different spacing easily by using a different first-page header and

using empty paragraphs in the continuation header to take up space. (To

change the left or right margin this way requires using a text box, too.)

Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you

want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages.

http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step

instructions. (It also has the following links)



Some other pages to look at:

http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and



Word for Word Perfect Users

http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP

environment (or even if you are not).



If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter

wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced

Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is),

Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions

including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook

Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You

should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/



Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they

are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists

very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates

in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have

better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.



Hope this helps,
