Headers and footers of different size
Hi
Please can you help me? I need to set up a letter template. I'm using preprinted stationery. I need to leave 6cm at the top and 4cm at the bottom of the first page, but there needs to be less space left on subsequent pages (say 4cm and 2cm). Thanks for any help. Lisa |

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for the way to use the
First Page Header/Footer to fake this. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Lisa" wrote in message ... Hi Please can you help me?

It is really not that difficult once you get your head around the concept
that Word will expand the header or footer to fit its content, pushing the document content down or up accordingly. To make an artificially large header or footer, you insert extra space, either as extra paragraphs, or as an object (such as a shape), or (my preference) as Space After the header paragraph or Space Before the footer paragraph. When you do this only in the First Page Header/Footer, then the primary Header/Footer is unaffected, and the page margin on subsequent pages is the margin you have set; only on the first page have you created an artificially large top/bottom margin. -- Suzanne S.
