Margins for First page Only
I have a template that requires a different first page to the rest of the
document. The document contains macros that link to another application that holds the data. Depending on the criteria, depends on whether the information is populated. This could be 1 line, to 10 paragraphs. If i place a section break at the end of the template, and the text flows over to 3 pages, only then does the margins change. I need to know if it is possible to place a hard code of some sort in the document to only be on the first page no matter what length of text there is. Regards Angela |

It sounds as if you need no section break at all, but to activate "Different first page" header/footer in File | Page setup.

But i have to create section breaks to allow me to put in teh different
margins. Without section breaks, it doesn't allow me to customize the different margins. "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote in message ...

If you don't want section breaks, depending on whether the first or
subsequent pages have the wider margins, you could use borderless text boxes in the relavant page header with a wrap option set (a header can be anywhere on the page) to push the text to where you want it to be. You then need to set a different first page header in the page setup - see Suzanne's link. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org angela patrikka wrote: But i have to create section breaks to allow me to put in teh different margins.
