Okay, I used Format Paragraphs and changed the
indents to minus values. It worked fine for the left
but not for the right. The paragraph in the header
has text that is right-aligned, but the text does not
shift over after I set the right indent. I think you've
told me enough, so I'll play with it some more.
Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions.

You don't change the *margins*; you change the indents. Are you doing this
from Format | Paragraph? If using the ruler, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm for illustrations
showing the difference between the indent markers and the margin markers.

When I set the margins for the body, the header section
is affected as well. If I then select the header and drag
the margins the body changes with it. If there's a trick
to changing them independently, I haven't found it yet.

Simply drag the margin markers on the ruler, when the header is
selected;
or go to Format Paragraph and set the left and right indents
explicitly.

Hi Suzanne,
I'd already read your URL, but I don't see how to, as you say,
"Just give the header paragraph negative right and left indents."
As I have it now, the left and right boundaries of the header section
are dictated by whatever is set for the document. In order to
achieve the proper size in the header section in which fits an 8 inch
wide JPEG image, I have to set the page margins to .25 inches
left and right.
I don't see any handles on the header that would allow me to
increase its width beyond the page boundaries.
The only "paragraph" in the header is text that is centered in
a borderless frame superimposed on the image.
Can you explain a bit further for me?
Thanks,
Bill

Absolutely. In this case you're talking about the side margins,
right?
Just
give the header paragraph negative right and left indents in the
required
amounts. You can do different top margins, too; see

Okay, I created the artwork that is required to satisfy
the requirements of the letterhead template. The header
section of the template is filled with a JPEG image. Then,
a frame was superimposed on the image allowing for easy
variations of text content in the letterhead. Everything looks
fine except that the header section required page margins
that really aren't desirable for the document body. E.g.,
the header section is 8 inches wide while that isn't normally
an appropriate column width for the body of the document.
Is there a way to have different margins for the header than
that of the body?
Thanks,
Bill

If one desires to create letterhead stationary that
can be "typed into", how does one or what does
one create for such purposes? A template? What?
Our otherwise pre-printed letterhead has a logo
on the upper right-hand corner plus horizontal
and vertical lines parallel to and close to all four
edges of a 8.5" x 11" paper and our mailing
address immediately below the logo.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Bill
