Different Margins in First Page Header
Creating a different first page header is easy enough, but how do I change
the vertical margin for the first page header? Modifying the first page's changes them all. I could get around this with a section break, but I don't see how I could make this work as I am pasting in a tall (multi page) Excel table into the document and can't see how that would be possible (or without creating other problems). There's got to be a way, right? |

Different Margins in First Page Header
Set the vertical margin for the whole document to the smaller of what
you want on the first page or the remaining pages. Then for the header that you want to have a larger vertical margin, "pad" that header either by selecting the header paragraph and adding "spacing before" in the Format | Paragraph dialog, or by adding one or more extra blank lines before or after the header.

Different Margins in First Page Header
This solution looks good, thank you. But as I today went to create a new
document with this technique, I find now that the expected behavior- being able to adjust the first page header margins differently from the following pages works as I first wanted but Word failed to do and prompted the original post. Maybe the application is feeling a little more clear headed on a Monday morning? I will take this as a reminder that sometimes quitting an application, perhaps even restarting for good measure, may result in the desired behavior. Poltergeist ?

Different Margins in First Page Header
See the "More complex letterhead" section of
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm. There is no other way to have different margins on different pages without a section break. -- Suzanne S.
