comprehensive article on a difficult subject
Stop it! After I figured out how to do two different headers, the actual
steps could have been broken down to a half-dozen or so bullet items. That's
all that's needed. For those that would like to wonder off into drifting
thoughts, you could have put the other 22 paragraphs of creative writing at
the bottom of the page. It was not my intention to insult.
Live well!

It is not a mess, but a very comprehensive article on a difficult subject.
And it does give you the answer. Enjoy PageMaker. It is a wonderful
program, but not very practical for producing letters in an office
environment.

I read through that painful mess of overkill and still have not found an
answer for changing margins.
I switched to PageMaker - no issues there!

You want First Page header turned on. Use content to determine it's
size
rather than resetting the header margins
That helped! However, now how do I set different margins for different
pages
in a template? I want the first page to have a 2" margin and all other
pages
to have a 1" top margin. How do I get that done?
thanks!

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)

Almost there....
I put a logo on the first page that requires the header to be 1.5"
high.
I just want the company name on subsequent pages, which requires the
header only be .5" high. I have the logo in place and also the
company
name. But when I change the vertical height of one header, the other
also
changes. How can I get them to be totally independent?
thanks!

Go to the end of your template, use the menu INSERT BREAK, PAGE
BREAK.
Be sure you are in the second page of your template and use the
menu
VIEW, HEADER & FOOTER. Find the buttons with the little arrowheads.
You
should be able to move between the first page header and the header
with those buttons.
The above assumes that you have properly use the "Use different
first
page" header/footer button on the PAGE SETUP, LAYOUT menu. Word
assumes that if you click the button that *both* a separate 1st
page
header *and* footer will be used. You can't specify only a 1st page
header, but uniform footer.
