Top margin larger on 2nd page
Is it possible, with a form, for the second, and following, page(s) to
have a larger top margin than the first page? In a regular document, I would put a section break at the end of page 1 and change the top margin for the new section. What about a macro? Thanks for your help. |

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for the technique; in
this case you want the extra space in the Header rather than the First Page Header. -- Suzanne S.

Try going to your second page, click in the ruler at the far left to bring
up page dimensions. Select size of header. Choose "From this point forward" under Apply to. Richard "FJB" wrote in message ups.com...

You don't actually change the margin. Instead you put something in either
the first-page header or the continuation header to take up space. This can be as simple as an empty paragraph mark or two or can be a text box or frame set to have text wrap around it. Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

This is not a good method because it inserts a section break. See the links
in my previous answer or the one given by Suzanne for a better method. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
