Keep Page format constant but different for header and document
My header has a picture of my letterhead in it. The margins for the header
are all 0: top, bottom, left right. After the header on page 1, I start a new continuous section with the main document margins of .75" on top, bottom, left right. Works great on page 1. The problem is when I paste text into the document that runs into the second page, the header on the 2nd page takes the margins of the main document from page 1. How can I preserve the margins on the header for all pages and also preserve the main document margins? I don't want to have to create new sections after copying multiple pages of text. Is there a way to lock the page format of just the header so that it's always different from the page format of the main document? -- Thanks. Sammie SBS 2003, OFFICE 2003, XP-PRO-SP3, IE7 |

Keep Page format constant but different for header and document
Wrong approach. Do this instead (you will not need any section breaks):
1. Set the margins (both page and header/footer) at whatever you want for the entire document. 2. Enable "Different first page." 3. Put your letterhead graphic in the First Page Header, formatted as Behind Text, with horizontal and vertical position both set to 0" relative to Page. 4. Add enough Space After to the header paragraph in the First Page Header to push the document body down a comfortable distance below the letterhead. You can enter this in terms of inches if you like; Word will convert to points. 5. In the primary Header, put whatever text you want in the header on page 2 and beyond. For more on all these techniques, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm and http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/AnchorToHeader.htm -- Suzanne S.
