You don't actually change the margins. You insert something into the margins
(header or footer) to push them in. At the top or bottom, this can be Space
Before/After added to the First Page Header or First Page Footer paragraph
(easier than the text box Doug recommends); on the left or right, you will
need a text box, frame, AutoShape or whatever, anchored to the First Page
Header.

I tried the method that was suggested but my margins on the second page
revert back to the margin's set on the first page. Any suggestions how to
set
up a template with different margins on the second page. I am working in
Word
2003.
Thanks!

Glad to help--I didn't write the link, but Suzanne Barnhill, who did,
is
sure to see your comment. And it's nice to hear that a thorough
explanation
instead of a quick and dirty fix is appreciated.

WOW! That did it -- I had no idea you could put a vertical text box
along the
left side within the header and it would still allow text to flow to
the
right of the box. That absolutely solved my problem.
Thank you both so much for the help. Daiya, that link you sent me to
contained such wonderful information, I really appreciate all the
trouble it
must've taken to put it all together. Amazing! You've made my day!

I believe one way of creating a letterhead like you describe is
detailed
here
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm
Scroll down to "Letterhead for a multi-page letter" and "More
Complex
Letterhead", especially the second one.
I think, though the page will explain, that the general principle
is if
you
anchor the text box in the first-page header, then you don't need
to
change
the margins at all, as it will push the text out of the way.
