Margins & Headers
Ok, here goes again. I have a one-page document that has
a header. If the page extends into a 2nd or 3rd page, I do not want a header on subsequent pages. The 1st page top margin needs to be set at 2.25, while subsequent pages (if they appear) need a top margin of 1.25. It seems I can solve these two problems, but not at the same time. I can elect for a different first page header by going to Page Setup--Layout--Different First Page Header. That does not solve the problem of a different top margin. That I tried to solve by putting in a section break immediately after the header on the first page. That will work to a degree in that I can then make the 2nd and subsequent pages have a different top margin. However, placement of the section break means that when a user opens the document and begins to type, the insertion point comes BEFORE the hidden section break, thereby moving the section break down the page as typing commences, and therefore formatting the 2nd page same as the first. I have been told many numerous remedies, mostly to either insert a paragraph on the first page for the extra space, or to use a text box. Neither case is sufficient for what my users need. They need for the insertion point to be at the EXACT location that they need to begin typing without changing any of the formatting. Surely as powerful an application as Word is, there must be a way to handle something this simple. This document is actually a letterhead that I have created with my logo, etc within the Header of the first page. If I do not place the logo in the Header and place it in the document as an object instead, the insertion point comes before the object, making everything move down. My users are not computer literate and would not know how to change a header, or how to move their insertion point. The biggest test comes from a user who is several steps above me on the chain of command, so I must satisfy his desires on this letterhead at all costs..lol....He creates his document as a plain document, then cuts and pastes it onto the letterhead. I know this is crazy and useless, but try to tell him that. Anyway, with the logo as an object, the cut and paste moves the object down the page and the text he pastes sort of goes into the middle of the object. Other users simply open the template and begin typing but again, the insertion point moves the section break. Help!!! Pulling my hair out over this one! Please feel free to email me if you can offer any further suggestions! |
