G'Day User,
Use a section break instead of a page break at the bottom of Page 1 - You can set different margins (among other things) for different sections. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "User" wrote in message ...

I went to the bottom of the page and did a Next Page section break. Once
done, I get the same footer as my 1st page (however I already have set the footer to be different than the 1st page). But if I just continously press enter to move to 2nd page (without setting a page section break), i will not see the footer on the 2nd page (which is what I want). Any clues?

Yes, but if we are talking a letterhead, you probably don't want to since a
section break will involve figuring out which section to type in. Instead use a textbox or frame to simulate this. See the letterhead textboxes tutorial listed below. First, 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: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" 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).

G'Day User,
Use the Section Break (Next Page)! ViewHeader & Footer On page 2 decide whether you want "Same as Previous" for the footer, or remove this and type in a new footer for pp2 onwards (i.e. for section 2). -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "User" wrote in message ...

Read the post again. The OP wants to be able to type continuously from page
1 to page 2, which is not possible with a section break. The correct answer is explained at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm -- Suzanne S.

different page margin on different pages
Hi Suzanne,
The OP wants: 1. A different margin on pp2 onward. 2. A different footer on pp2 onward. He originally set up (2) (Diff 1st Page Hdr) without a section break. Now he has a section break that gives him (1), but has lost him (2) since his footer has 'Same as Previous' (that he must now remove). ============= I went to the bottom of the page and did a Next Page section break. Once done, I get the same footer as my 1st page He points out that he loses (2) with the section break that gives him (1) (which WE understand - but HE doesn't). But if I just continously (sic) press enter to move to 2nd page (without setting a page section break), i will not see the footer on the 2nd page (which is what I want). He points out that he gets (2) by continuous typing ('cos that's how he set it up). =============== -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Suzanne S.

different page margin on different pages
G'Day (again) User,
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q159678/ -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "User" wrote in message ... I did a section break (next page) and I'm getting page 2 of 1, page 3 of 1 etc If I do a Continuous section break, i get the same thing Page 2 will be "Page 2 of 1" etc etc). Word 97 here. Is this a bug in this version?
