Default Word - How to set different margins for header/footer vs body of l

Is there a way to set different margins for the header/footer versus the body
of text on a template letter? I would like for each of the margin settings
to continue on any additional pages that might be forced from the length of
the body typed in page 1.

Thumbs up Answer: Word - How to set different margins for header/footer vs body of l

Yes, you can set different margins for the header/footer and the body of the document in Microsoft Word. Here's how:
  1. Open your document in Microsoft Word.
  2. Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Click on the "Margins" button in the "Page Setup" group.
  4. Click on "Custom Margins" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  5. In the "Page Setup" dialog box, click on the "Layout" tab.
  6. Under "Headers and footers," you will see options for "Header" and "Footer." Here, you can set the margin values for the header and footer separately from the rest of the document.
  7. Under "Margins," you can set the margin values for the body of the document.
  8. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Now, any additional pages that are added to the document will automatically use the same margin settings as the first page. This means that the header/footer margins will remain the same, and the body margins will remain the same as well.

Set the right and left indents of the Style(s) used in the headers and
footers. You can move the triangles in the rulers when you're in the
header/footer.

I think you're referring to top and bottom margins rather than the side
margins (which Peter has addressed). This is addressed in the section on
multi-page letterhead at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm.
The trick is to enable "Different first page," which allows you to
artificially expand the First Page Header/Footer beyond the top/bottom
margin.
